Another new band -- at least to me -- discovered, thanks to Gregorz. They are superb and -- as always -- Mr. G's photos add so much to the enjoyment. OMG, the photos are just to die for; the colors are luminous -- as is the music. Absolutely over the top, Mr.G

Haunting music and your usual great images, especially the deco. But what does this "valse" have to with Boston?

I detect some strains of the Sheik of Araby--another "y" word.

B, the Boston was a slightly slower waltz. than the Viennese waltz, as far as I know. G will have to confirm. And the illustrations, indeed, are wonderful.

For some reason - I don't know the ethymological motives - in continental Europe "the English Waltz" was often called "the Boston Waltz" or simply "the Boston". My Parents or their genaration family members would never say "the English waltz"

Hello Grzegorz! It's a smooth valse - excellent beat for dancing! Next to Tango - Valse is my most favorite! Thanks!!!
