Thanks again Walter, great research!

Oh to have lived during a time when dancing like this was the norm...

[@beckett381]

ikr horrible

[@iciclepops]

is there a title for this music? it's quite lovely but retroactively heartwrenching in my opinion-- gives me a wonderful feeling

[@WalterNelson]

It's "Old Lace", played by the Isham Jones orchestra.

@@WalterNelson yes, thank you. I found it many months ago and now it's part of my regular spotify listens

Is that Donald Novis singing at 5:00 minutes ? I enjoyed all the music and the dancing ! Thank you for sharing.

[@WalterNelson]

winnie winkle Yes, those are the dulcet tones of Don Novis. The scene is from "Love in the Rough"

Song at 3:12?

[@taaakaa]

In which genre does this music falls? If i search jazz it's too wide.

[@Anna-zb6yz]

Does anyone know what the song is?

[@AvitalShtap]

Sometimes it sounds like the spin of the record is whispering:)
