I have no idea why this popped into my mind, as it has been years since it happened or I even thought about it. But. when I was around 19 or so, & single, a neighborhood friend talked me into going to Great Lakes Naval base on their "social night" & since I had dated a guy who was stationed there, agreed, figuring good way to see him. Well, actually, this turned out to be USO hostess thing, where you dance with all the different naval men. LOL So, I happened to be a good dancer, (actually I could follow darn well) so got asked a lot (I LOVED to dance) & then this one sailor wanted to jitterbug, we were doing so well, we drew a crowd....you know, how they stand and watch, encouraging. He was really good...guess I kept up pretty well. And that is how the sailor I had dated found me......since he drifted over to join the "crowd". LOL. It was so fun, and the guy I was dancing with did not want to let me go, but......alas, all good things come to an end. Only was reminded when I saw a video today, of a fellow playing piano, an old jitterbug number, in a mall, a guy strolling by gets all hepped up, and is dancing by himself, like mad, and a little 2 or 3 year old adorable little girl sees him, and joins in, mimicking his moves. Was sooo cute. (Hubby does not or never did dance).
