1950s-Square Dancing at the Opry

Ever since I first learned to flat-foot and clog listening to old-time and bluegrass music as a little girl, I've loved to square dance.
I was delighted to find this short video of one of the groups that won the hearts of Opryland in the 1950s. If you watch their feet fly to the music, you can certainly see why.

I love those dresses, too. I spent many years performing with Appalachian clogging groups and used a very similar pattern to make most of my performance dresses.

Here's a nod to my Appalachian roots and my love of old-time dancing.

About Me

Hi there. Welcome to Moxie Doodles, a hodge podge of my writing and life doodles. I'm a little bit philosophical, a lot silly, and a lover of music, dance, and all things retro. Enjoy!

P.S. Because of the date profile, it may appear that I wrote all of this in a frenzy. Not so, I'm porting things over from an old blog that I kept hidden and simply used as a place to store my writing and doodles for a few years until a couple of friends who knew about it convinced me to share some of my Moxie Doodles (so called because I've been told I have a lot of moxie, and I'm always doodling).

P.S.S. Unfortunately, that picture is not me. I just happen to love retro pin-up art and have a small collection.
