St. Louis Jitterbug, Flying Lindy & Shag!
Uploaded by: RhythmJunkie
Video Description:
This is Kenny Wetzel(in his 60's) with Mary Ann Nunez during a jam at the U.S. open in 1986. Kenny was from East St. Louis and according to some of the best St. Louis Dancers from the 40's/50's era he was 'the best' in his day "He would Lindy so fast, it's like his never hit the ground"
I've showed this clip to a few Jitterbug chapions from the 40's/50's era and they all said he was "old and fat" here and was much better in his youth when he only weighed 130 pounds!
