Judging a Book By Its Cover: Tales of the Jazz Age
Maybe the fact that F. Scott Fitzgerald has been one of my favorite authors since long before I discovered jazz dancing, goes to show that it was always in me, even if I didn’t know it yet. I don’t know if many of you know it, but I actually have a bachelor’s degree in English Literature. Ahh, my bookworm days. The Great Gatsby is my sentimental favorite (and though the Robert Redford/Mia Farrow film is darling, if you haven’t read the book you’re still missing out – snappy dialogue and witticisms that would make Oscar Wilde blush!). But anyway, I just found this pic of the original dust jacket for Tales of the Jazz Age, with those wonderful dance illustrations, and had to share…

Thanks! You have some of the coolest web topics and images I have seen in a long time. We only have dial-up way out here and not even TV so I have wasted HUGE Humungus hours with long downloads … but worth every second. We don’t dance but maybe I could teach the cows across the way to Lindy Hop … do you think? Too cool! Thanks.
