Dear Yvette, merci pour cette surprise. Je t'écris avec les larmes aux yeux, parce que encore des souvenirs réapparaissaient; juste après la guerre à Turin j'allais voir tous les film de Ginger Rogers et Fred Astaire avec ma grandmère. Quel plaisir!. La nonna, qui avait déjà passé les 70 ans, adorait voir ces films joyuex venat d'un autre monde. Nous n'en manquions pas un.Ton blog et tes textes sont un peu comme un journal intime pour moi, un journal qu'on trouve dans un tiroir, oublié, peut être, et qu'on commence à feuilleter ; sur chaque page on trouve un nouveau souvenir!une sensation de retrouvaille, d'un "ah oui ah oui! C'est très précieux! Un grand merci, chère Yvette.
Sorry, I have to react again. You gave me a wonderful afternoon. I watched all the YT's. What an elegance and a great talent Fred Astaire had; he was unique, really. Ginger R. and Rita H., both extraordinary ballerina's and beauties. Fred A. was a perfectionist and very very demanding for his partners, never satisfied about their performances. Not an easy man to work with and, alas, he did not have a nice character. But that does not bother us. We enjoy his art and dancing!
The amazing feeling, with 'blogging' and having regular readers is that no matter where we were brought up, we share through music and our own feelings the same treasures, it gives us a strange feeling of belonging to a family without boundaries...Nice! Thanks for your reactions to 'my' musical choice!
Thank you for bringing a little elegance into the weekend. And its nice to reminded that Rita Hayworth was not just another sex goddess of the era but a beautiful dancer and, though she didn't do her own singing in this particular movie, a very fine singer. Mille grazie Carina.
