December 5, 20178 yr The United States Air Force band flash mob brings a big band era Christmas program to Union Station in Washington DC. This is for the old timers who recall the old Army brown shoe days. https://www.chonday.com/27497/usafotband5/ Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
December 5, 20178 yr Moderator Wow! That was certainly unique! I could just imagine my late mom and dad dancing just like those "kids" since they were just twenty-something "kids" during that era.

December 5, 20178 yr Oh dear! I must be in my dotage. That brought tears to my rheumy old eyes. Tears for a bygone age. As a kid I recall the USAF band made an appearance at out local (Chelmsford) carnival. We lined the street and the call went out 'The Yanks are coming!' What a sight and what a sound! As they marched into view they were doing a dance, one step forward, two steps back and one to the side type of thing, in time to Glenn Miller numbers. Fantastic, wonderful, marvelous. Thanks for posting that. I'm sure, if I was there, they'd have stretchered me off. The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
December 5, 20178 yr Moderator Ron, I noticed this "My Paints On MediaFire" at the bottom of your post and my first, quick glance made me think it said "My Pants on Fire"... ...then I had a second look and noticed what it really says.

December 6, 20178 yr Author I thought it would hit a spark with the old-timers here. In a couple weeks I'll post one of my Christmas stories from the boyhood collection I wrote for my grandkids Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
