Couple of Good Ones Recently Passed On

Frankie Manning and Dom DeLuise both passed on recently.

Frankie Manning is a big part of why Lindy Hop is so popular. He passed away just before his 95th birthday. I got to see him once, about 10 years ago. He attended swing festivals and dance camps literally up until his death.

Here's Frankie Manning (in the overalls) dancing in Hellzapoppin, 1941.



Dom DeLuise... Well, he's always made me laugh. That's good enough.
