Shucks!!  Now you have taken me back to Our Dancing Days!! For Ballroom Dancing, I loved The Slow Foxtrot best. Then there's The Olde Tyme Dancing and Sequence and not forgetting --- Jiving?? hardly ever off the floor and little time for  'sipping' our brandies??

Was it only just a few short years ago -- How 'FIT' we Both was then??? -- What a wonderful time we lived!!
What happened to All those BIG BANDS and those BIG DANCING HALLS ????????????????????????????

The shoes were called beetle crushers,cos in them days people had lots of beetles because of the property being old and the coal fires.
