Fox's Trot to Foxtrot

This video shows a 1914 ragtime-style Fox's Trot that segues into a modern Foxtrot. It was performed at the 2006 Seascoast Classic in Dover, NH by Ruth Evans and Charles Worsley to "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To." The spoken intro gives a brief description of the history of foxtrot.

Hi Cheryl. You're welcome to use the video although I can't speak for the musicians -- we weren't concerned about copyright issues for an amateur performance. The music is spliced together from two recordings of "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To" with the 1st by The Mont Alto Orchestra and the 2nd by Nancy Wilson. If you'd like to reach us directly a web search should turn up our old web page which has an e-mail address. Thanks for the compliment! - Ruth Evans & Charles Worsley
