Best Date Ever

Well this weekend my sweet hubby blew me away with an awesome valentine's present. For all those of you who listen to CKUA, you have probably heard The Old-Disc Jockey. Its a great show that plays big band music from the era of fantastic live dance music. Swing, Jive, all the goodies. Well Mike heard on the show that there was going to be a big band dinner and dance in calgary so he got us tickets to such a great night. We arrived a little early and as we sat at our table we watched everyone arriving. It was 90% gray hairs. We watched them enter with canes and walkers and wondered if anyone would actually dance. Well when that music started we were put to shame. Walkers and canes disapeared and pace makers kicked into high gear. It was amazing to watch all these couples who had obviously been dancing together for decades. It was so inspiring to watch these couples, so obviously still in love and haveing so much fun together. The folks at our table were so sweet and tried to teach us to dance. My generation is clueless.
A highlight of our evening was meeting the Old-disc Jockey himself, John Worthington. What a funny man.









Next year we expect you all to come join us. To hear a sample of the great orchestra look up southern stardust. Sorry I dont know how to make a link.
