The Music Just Never Stops

And he dragged her to the floor to Porter's 'Begin The Beguine‘, swaying to the sultry rhythm without missing a beat. As the orchestra shifted to Jobim paying tribute to an Ipanema girl, he seduced and she responded, he pulled and she obeyed. Dancers left the stage to give way as the pair twirled and tantalized, heedless of many eyes watching their lovemaking on the floor. It has been a long time since then when two souls moved as one with crowds cheering them on, voyeurs to their lusty ritual. Years had cleared the dance floor and dancers had faded and gone following the steps of Bojangles that gave rise to the Travoltas. But the wheel keeps on rolling while young bands are rocking to old familiar beats and styles and the music just never stops.
