Is there any way to get hold of the full interview?
-
I had the honor of dancing with him in 1983 in NYC. He was a guest of Teddy Kern, my lindy teacher for one year. He was so fine.

Many old timers smoked pot, many didn't...I respected all of them....;)

@2barbreak Hee hee, maybe for you! When I was in a punk band, our rule was, NO SMOKING POT UNTIL AFTER THE GIG AND THE REHEARSALS! Maybe it was just us, but pot always messed up our timing. We are all wired differently. My French spouse becomes depressed, withdrawn and nauseated on pot. It's just "noth his thing." So be it -- costly here in France! (We have hashish, cheap and good, but even so, I have been a good girl for 7 years now! xo

Yes, this is surely the old black gentleman with whom I had the pleasure to dance during a basic swing and lindy year-long study with Teddie Kern as teacher. I had smoked a little pot in advance -- bad move! I couldn't keep up with his leads. But he was polite and did what he could with me. It was great! Long live dance, and thank you for posting this! I took the lessons in NYC in '83.

@2barbreak Hee hee hee!

@slobomotion yup, almost certain that would be him...

George claimed NOT to do the Lindy Hop!!! He claimed to do "swing" , which was different, and he was very clear on his Video Taped interview on what the differences are, and even demonstates it by changing partners (Margrete B.) with Frankie Manning.
