Anonymous!!! What a great piece. Firstly I have to say that your son is the most enthusiastic dancer and he also manages leading other dancers. The three "frontmen" (I know there is a lady but I am not particular at this silly gender issue) are real columns of the show! Also the band is good - I loved that big drum !Bum!Bum!Bum! - good for keeping the tempo. I am not sure if you are there with your melodion? Big fun with that traffic cone! Congratulations, you are the best!
Glad you enjoyed it! The lady dancing next to Henry is his fiancee, Caitlin (she pronounces it cat - lin)
Hm, 'frontmen'... I can't think of a better term, even though I know it isn't perfect.
However, you got caught out by 'columns'. I think you meant to say 'pillars'. Heaven knows why one is correct and not the other! I suppose 'pillars' always hold things up, whereas 'columns' are seen as slightly more decorative, but the meanings are virtually identical, except in phrases like 'a pillar of society' where 'column' is never used.
I think I was out of view of the camera. I'm still having problems with my ankle, so I was sitting down a lot of the time.
Oh, Caitlin - what a lovely name! I have always liked Oswin for your little girl and now another lovely one.
Haha, you are right - I undrestand that nuance now but now I remember reading those "pillars of morality" somewhere, yes! I just love English! Thank you very much, dear. I am sorry to hear that your ankle is still bad, I hope it will get better soon.
