Dancing to Some 40's Tunes

Now, years later, I am overjoyed to see my grandchildren and what they get to do with music these days. Our school would certainly never have had such a thing as a parent dance; I think the kids I knew at that age would have been embarrassed and horrified to have their parents actually dance in front of them.

So it was a great experience to catch a glimpse of my grandson grinning as he spotted us on the dance floor. It was also a pleasure to see him dance reluctantly with his Mom during a band break (the two bands took turns). What was even more of a pleasure was to see the look on these kids' faces; they were proud of what they were doing and happy to be there.

Memories are all we have when all is said and done, and we are grateful for the big band experience, live, courtesy of my grandson and his trumpet in the band. My listening ears and dancing feet had the time of my life. Duke Ellington or Count Basie couldn't have done us so proud.

Thanks, Hunter, Mr. Shook and Mead School District! You warmed our hearts.
