Day 24: A great song to dance to
With a partner, I love dancing to Bobby Darin's "Beyond the Sea." But when dancing by myself, and when I'm in the mood to trot out my bare minimum of dance training, I love Ella Fitzgerald's version of "It's Only a Paper Moon." I prefer the recording from Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Harold Arlen Songbook, but I was only able to find a small snippet of it on Verve Music Group's page for that album. I hope it's enough to give you a sense of the song.

Sigh. Someone needs to invite me to a wedding. That's always the best environment for dancing: fun music, room to be dipped by your partner, merry people all too willing to humiliate themselves....
