I'm so glad that I read the notes and all the posts so that I understand what's going on with all this bra stuff.

I, myself, have never worn a bra, but I have done drag...several times! Just bra-less, though. The performances (in local AIDS benefits) that I've done were not "true drag," in otherwords, I wasn't lip-syncing to any recording. I sang out, Louise. "Beauty That Drives a Man Mad" from Some Like It Hot: The Musical. We transcribed the London version of the song and it has a much better ending that the Broadway cast recording of Sugar, I think.

Anyway, what I've discovered is that no matter how good or how bad one is as a live drag performer or even a lip-sync drag performer, audiences love to see a man in a dress!

I wore a lovely bra in The Ratings Game, along with a nice skirt and blouse.

Wait till people log on in the morning - they won't know WHAT the hell happened.

Someone needs to take some meds.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #98 on:** January 07, 2005, 01:34:45 AM »

Can we do the Lindy? Or the Lindy Hop now?

Or shall we do something more classic? Like a Minuet? Quadrille? Passepied?

Now I must leave and sleep, perchance to...sleep. If I have dreams, I rarely, if ever, remember them after I wake up...or not long enough to even remember that I had a dream. Weird, huh? Anyway, good night!

Just PM me your address and I'll add you to the list... And something tells me I'm going to have a long list...

My friend taught me the Lindy Hop...I do enjoy it. I like all forms of partner dancing, especially swing.

Hmmm... I wonder if I sent Mr. Kevin Spirtas some cookies if he'd be my slave for life.

DR MBarnum - Please note: I would send you cookies, but I also know you're dealing with your diabetes, so... If I come up with a good sugar-free recipe... Would you be my slave for life?

Well, I must wussburger at last...I have job applications to pick up in the morning, so off I go.

Goodnight all

Now you've gone and done it... All this talk of dancing...

I have Robert Russell Bennett's "Suite of Old American Dances" going through my head. I played this when I was in high school band - alto saxophone. I still remember it took me a long time to get the hang of some of those syncopated eighth note figures.

...I haven't thought - nor heard - of these pieces in years! Years, I tell you! So who knows if what I'm hearing in my head right now is actually the correct music?

Madness, I tell you. Madness!

Chubby Checker - Limbo Rock

Every limbo boy and girl
All around the limbo world
Gonna do the limbo rock
All around the limbo clock
Jack be limbo, Jack be quick
Jack go unda limbo stick
All around the limbo clock
Hey, let's do the limbo rock

Limbo lower now
Limbo lower now
How low can you go

First you spread your limbo feet
Then you move to limbo beat
Limbo ankolimboneee,
Bend back like a limbo tree
Jack be limbo, Jack be quick
Jack go unda limbo stick
All around the limbo clock
Hey, let's do the limbo rock

la la la etc (instead of instrumental break)

Get yourself a limbo girl
Give that chic a limbo whirl
There's a limbo moon above
You will fall in limbo love
Jack be limbo, Jack be quick
Jack go unda limbo stick
All around the limbo clock
Hey, let's do the limbo rock

Don't move that limbo bar
You'll be a limbo star
How low can you go

Lil Armstrong - Lindy Hop

If I could lindy like Melindy when she lindy hops,
She makes all cats in the ballroom stop;
Hmmm, just look at that style and grace,
How that gal keeps up that pace!

Now, if I could lindy like Melindy when she lindy hops,
She won't even stop if you call the cops!
Just look at the twinkle in her eye!
Ahh, how that dress quivers around her thigh!

Now, if I could lindy like Melindy when she lindy hops,
Makes all cats in the ballroom stop;
Look at him throw her out and bring her in!
Now, the way them cats dance is a sin!
