Kick Butt Blues CANCELED Tonight - Please Spread the Word
Clint Zehner
Apologies for the short notice, but Kick Butt Blues has been canceled
for November 26th. Take an extra day and let the post-turkey torpor
wear off. We'll be back next week, well-rested, and ready to dance!!!
Now for something random from "The Ballroom To Hell", by T. A.
Faulkner, 1892 (in reference to Waltz).
"She is now in the vile embrace of the Apollo of the evening. Her head
rests upon his shoulder, her face is upturned to his, her bare arm is
almost around his neck, her partly nude swelling breast heaves
tumultuously against his, face to face they whirl on, his limbs
interwoven with hers, his strong right arm around her yielding form,
he presses her to him until every curve in the contour of her body
thrills with the amorous contact. Her eyes look into his, but she sees
nothing; the soft music fills the room, but she hears it not; he bends
her body to and fro, but she knows it not; his hot breath, tainted
with strong drink, is on her hair and cheek, his lips almost fierce,
intolerable lust, gloat over her, yet she does not quail. She is
filled with the rapture of sin in its intensity; her spirit is
inflamed with passion and lust is gratified in thought. With the last
low wail the music ceases, and the dance for the night is ended, but
not the evil work of the night."
(This is why people should stick to Blues Dancing).
