Umbrellas and Puddles, a most  romantic setting for Melba, with Louise and Linguini allowing the dance to guide their umbrellas.  I wonder if Melba and her dancing instructor are dancing the Bolero, Miss Blue, a George Raft and Carole Lombard sensation in the 1930's, danced to Ravel's Bolero.  A very sensual dance.  I hope L&L tilted their umbrellas every once in a while - certainly the polite thing to do.   Then again, L&L might find themselves doing the Bolero after the rain is over and the umbrellas are set aside.  Surely Ravel's Bolero wafted from the Music Hall near by and continued throughout the evening,  audiences, clapping and demanding to hear the Bolero again.   Isn't it all exciting, Miss Blue.


Yours in Music, Pearl in 3/4 time...
