Gee Baby, Ain't I Been Good to You?

Gosh, I don't know where to start because there is so much to love about this video. Is it the fact that a bunch of senior citizens took out their instruments and decided to have an impromptu performance on a street corner? Is it the little boy who is instinctively, lovingly guarding his younger sister at around 0:53 - as they both look on in delight? Is it the elderly woman, clad all in green, carefully doing the soft shoe with an invisible partner? Or is it just because I love that old ragtime sound? But . . . maybe it's that this is Paris, and an afternoon here can take on the haze and beauty of all your favorite dreams. Le sigh.

  1. To me it's hard to choose between the dancing lady and the singer's amazing voice.

  2. Hi Taide! His voice IS amazing, it's true . . . and yet, the old dancing broad - well, gosh, she's just fantastic. I want to BE her. One day. Not to-day.

  3. Haha! Well I wish I could be half as cool (and stylish) as her right now!
