Beguiling pearls of wit, wisdom, and whimsy-with attitude

Migraine Melody : Begin The Beguine

Posted on January 12, 2022 by Enchanted Seashells by Princess Rosebud

I couldn’t even watch TV yesterday when I suffered with that migraine (glad to say it disappeared as mysteriously as it arrived) but all I could do was lie in darkness and listen to music.

One of my all time favorite tunes is “Begin the Beguine”.

The beguine is a ballroom dance similar to the foxtrot, based on a dance from Martinique and St. Lucia. It was popular in the 1930s.

Ella, Frank, Sammy, and Artie Shaw; I love all of these versions, and this dance sequence is to DIE FOR.

Isn’t that Fats Waller?

And Artie Shaw, I could listen to this all day…

  Thank you! It was a momentary thing, I guess.
