Coming from a multi racial background. My Grandmother who was Italian fell in love with a Black Man from Louisville Kentucky & I remember her telling me stories about how they had to sneak around & meet in secret. & when they would meet up he would take her to clubs where he knew a lot of people & they didnât mind seeing them together they were people about love & wanted to be free for who ever they fell in love with. & my grandmother had an amazing voice she would sing in the clubs one of the first white women to sing at the Apollo theater as well & she would dance with my grandfather. To swing, just everything of there time. They always played the swing music & music from the 50âs & 60âs & 70s. They got married & had 6 children. One her daughters who is my mother, fell in love with a Puerto Rican man & in those times it was the same racism but being from the 60s no one was taking that anymore people found there voice & fought even more for freedom & to stop the racism. My mom was rebellious like her mother she didnt care & had me & my brother by the Puerto Rican man she fell in love with. Music is spiritual, its where everyone meets & feels free to express themselves & the feeling the music gives people itâs universal everyone comes together. & of course the chemistry between a man & woman you could never beat that you can literally see people falling in love out on a dance floor. So put on whatever music you love & just enjoy dance & be you. & fall for whoever you love.

My great grandparents had a collection of swing and jazz albums. (Gran-Granny was a flapper, too!) When I was too young to know what I was doing my Gran-Granny would dance to this music and I would imitate her until I knew the steps and the turns. She would laugh and clap and kiss me when I finally got it right. Now that she's gone I sometimes get teary-eyed thinking of what a joyful person she was. I will always love swing as much as I loved her and watching her dance... with a cigarette in one hand and a glass of gin on ice in the other. She lived to be 107yrs old!

This is the best of American art. In the thirties and fourties were hugely popular. Now the American music is more special efects and less music. But fortunately there are young people taking the torch in direction of the future. The Earth habitants in the next centuries will know and appreciate it likewise we enjoy Bach, Mozart and many others.
