Fred Astaire

[Guitarist]

Today is his birthday. I have been watching a great 1970 interview with him on The Dick Cavett Show. He was the only guest and it was a great interview!

 

[SeaBreeze]

Happy birthday Fred, wouldn't he be 117 now?

 

[Guitarist]

Yep. Goodness! Now I feel old!

 

[SeaBreeze]

You're a spring chicken Guitarist! :yes:

 

[SifuPhil]

Happy birthday, Fred!

The man had moves - and class. Think I'll dress in top hat and tails today and dance down the street in his honor.

 

[Guitarist]

Good idea, SifuPhil! Wish I could put on a gown of feathers and join you!

 

[SifuPhil]

Good idea, SifuPhil! Wish I could put on a gown of feathers and join you!

Or maybe YOU could wear the tux and I'll wear ...

... hmm ... no, that probably wouldn't be good ...

He and Ginger Rogers are just wonderful to watch. Such perfection in movement!
