Thank you. Vivaldi's Four Seasons will clearly pass the 500 year test.

(The "500 year test" is one that I use to measure importance: if a reasonable number of educated people from around the globe are aware of something more than 500 years old, it is important. The "millennial test", of course, gives even more significance to things older than 1000 years. I feel sure that the works of the composers J.S. Bach and Antonio Vivaldi will pass my millennial test, and undoubtedly others such as Telemann are very likely to also.)

Since it is South Carolina, it is only appropriate to have at least one link to the original South Carolina music and dance known as The Shag.

Lipstick, powder and paint; is you is, or is you ain't?

Those two can really cut a rug! That man's legs look like they're made of rubber! Great job!

That fabulous shag routine made me think of another bit of good dancing and spirits with the Jive Aces video "Bring Me Sunshine." It brings a smile, guaranteed!

I love your tagline, by the way!
