I won't dance.

My dadou (mothers father) used to play fantastic jazz when he was alive. He used to tour with Fats Waller - being at home this christmas I am more than fascinated by all these eccentric musicians and artists and egyption great uncles living these glorius lives as if a different era in Cairo, and the stories of those who did so in the affluent 20's & 30's... How wonderful! The glamour & theatricality... gosh, to have lived then. I am feasting on ginger rogers & fred astaire videos, a use of time I highly reccomend.
