Pasadena Big Band, On With The Dance
Nostalgic swing, singing the blues So put on your dancing shoes Get out of your chair Dance like Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire Imagining we are stars in a speakeasy movie Dancing the Charleston, we're ever so groovy "CUT", shouts the film director, "next scene" The music stops, it's the end of the dream Tea Dance with the Pasadena Big Band The waitress serves on a silver cake stand Cup cakes, petit fours and cress sandwiches Just like in the black and white movies

Does this place really exist. I want to go there. I love the 'Grand Hotel' film. Your work has made me want to visit old places of grace and timelessness.
