Not exactly what you think of when you think of smelling spring! Great to see Fred and Gene dancing/singing ~ I have just recently watched again "That's Entertainment Part 2" made in 1976 which the two of them were hosting.Glohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09532995590131801962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083160.post-70592554839722444082008-04-20T17:22:00.000-04:002008-04-20T17:22:00.000-04:00Those two boys sure could dance and sing just a bi...Those two boys sure could dance and sing just a bit couldn't they! <BR/>I love the quote which goes something like Fred Astaire made it look all so easy but remember that Ginger Rogers did it all backwards in high heels!<BR/>Have a good week! xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083160.post-44323474640555410802008-04-20T13:07:00.000-04:002008-04-20T13:07:00.000-04:00LOL, yeah, them continental farmers!!

(Not all of them, I think there are laws about that kind of thing in Texas).
