God Bless YouTube

I think one of my all-time favorite things are YouTube swing dance videos. The music is so bright, and the people are so good. It just gives me a happy rush. Plus, I pick out new steps to try out the next time I go dancing.

This link is to a dance set to "Won't You Come Home Bill Bailey". I first heard this song when I was stage crew at a community theater production of Tintypes, a musical that's basically Pop Hits of the 1860s-1920s. The song was published in 1902. The singer in this version sounds a lot like Ella Fitzgerald, but I can't quite tell if it's her. I dare you to watch it without smiling.
