4th of July and Fred Astaire Fridays

In honor of Independence Day in the United States, I am beginning a new tradition, to last for as long as I find relevant YouTube vids to post on the subject.

Welcome to Fred Astaire Friday. For the first Fred Astaire Friday, I want to post a dance number that I have just become aquainted with.

This is called Let's Say it With Firecrackers from the movie "Holiday Inn" (aka: White Christmas). Astaire, apparently uses actual explosives to accompany him in this dance number.

Enjoy! And happy 4th!

A Video for the 4th

In searching YouTube for an appropriate video to put up for the 4th, this one touched me the most. It is a film of the Queen's Guards outside Buckingham Palace, ordered to play the United States National Anthem, the day after 9/11, to show the country's sympathy with America, and to comfort the many U.S. citizens who had congregated outside of the palace gates after learning their flights home were cancelled. I think this is especially moving in light of the recent terror attacks in the U.K.
