I watched part of it Robert and thought it was sensational. :D If today's dancers could dance like that!

But I really don't like YouTube. :( I only look at it if there's something I need to find out about.

Thanks for replying Jeff - the best bit is near the end :wink: :) I know you don't really like the song Ellie and Fred dance to :wink: :)

I just watched the full routine. Yes, very impressive at the end.

I like Begin the Beguine, Robert.

Jeff, I thought you mentioned on here once, that you didn't like the tune or (Artie Shaw's) version of the tune :wink:

I love Artie Shaw's version. :D

I don't particularly like it sung, because the lyrics are not among Cole Porter's best. Perhaps that young male singer from Canada with the initials MB that I promised to never mention again in the forum had recorded the song and I didn't like his version. :x Is that what you're remembering?

:?: Did you get Ellie's clown portrait yet or any other Ellie items?

Answer to question #1.................perhaps, perhaps, perhaps :wink: :lol:

Answer to question #2..................no....................I didn't like the clown photograph, and the other items were too expensive, and would have been even more expensive to ship over here :wink: :lol: the tap shoes sold for over $2 thousand. But in their latest auction there was an original collectible photo of Ellie, from the Broadway Melody of 1938, which I was lucky enough to win :D :D

Nice picture of Ellie Robert, and you know how we like the dance sequence Begin The Beguine.
Artie Shaw was a great musician, and yet "Begin The Beguine" was not his favourite tune and he would have preferred this song to be on the B side of "Indian Love Call"
