The inimitable Chet Baker showed up on The Impossible Cool this morning and I realized he was completely left off of Esquire's "The 75 Best Dressed Men of All Time" list. Instead of languishing in this blatant oversight it seems more appropriate to honor him instead. Not many people have ever been as cool as Chet and the guy's style was much like the music he played - cool, suave and smooth. His untimely death, though not as unexpected or soon, and style make him kinda like the James Dean of jazz if you're looking for a fairly elementary comparison. Regardless, Chet was the physical manifestation of the music he so expertly and effortlessly played. -L.A.S

The Rock and Roll Waltz sheet music Music by Shorty Allen Words by Roy Alfred Kay Starr with pearls and a fur stole on the cover. "The Rock and Roll Waltz" is a popular song with music by Shorty Allen and lyrics by Roy Alfred in 1955. The song is told from the point of view of a teenager who comes home early from a date, and catches her parents attempting to dance to one of her rock and roll records; only, having no frame of reference, the couple tries to waltz to the music. The Kay Starr recording of the song, made in 1955, reached number one on the Billboard singles chart in 1956, staying there for six weeks. The recording was released by RCA Victor as catalog number 47-6359. It was Kay Starr's first recording of great significance for RCA Victor after leaving Capitol Records. She had a number of lesser chart entries on RCA in 1955, including "Good and Lonesome" and "Turn Right". She thought it was a joke when the A&R staff at RCA Victor picked it for her; it was so different from what she was used to recording. It was a No. 1 hit, a million seller, and one of the early songs of the rock and roll era. The track also spent one week at No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart in March 1956.

Well Readers, I could have danced all Night... If you've been keeping up with the events here on "Mick's" You'll know that last Friday Night was our annual Spring Break Dance! If you will recall last years formal dance, we had quite a turn out and a fabulous time. This year's dance- not to be out done boasted a guest list of 51 people in attendance, with even more gowns and tux's! (Don't we all look great?!) (A "white sport coat" and my date Patricia) This year everyone dressed up in period 1950's formals the girls hunted for MONTHS to find the perfect dresses. Our "Prom Planning Committee" researched for hours trying to find perfect 1950's-esk decorations so our "Prom" would be authentic! ("If Dreams Came True"- our Prom song/Theme by Pat Boone) In no time at all the party was hopping! It took nearly 45 minuets to get everyone signed in at the Lake Diversion toll gate, but things were underway after a Blessing was given by Mr. Schaffer. It wasn't long before the records started spinning and "The Casablanca Class of 1958" was dancing up a storm! (Look at Friend Evelyn Go!) We Hokey Pokey'd and discovered that it really is what it's all about and then took the group photos- (The Ladies...) (The Gents...) The Records played on with the latest hits of the day and everyone was having a terrific time! (Friends- Chloe, Kelcie, Courtney, Felicity, and Joy!) (Savannah, Myself, Brianna, Emily & Chloe!) (Everyone chatting out on the terrace of the dance pavilion.) At long last a record finally made its way to the top of the pile we'd all been waiting for, it's the latest dance craze sensation! "The Bunny Hop!" Earlier this week on a blog called The Speedboys (blogging from Spain!) featured a whole post about the Bunny Hop and once I posted it on our Facebook event page we KNEW it would be a hit at the dance! (Friend Melissa, dressed as Marylin Monroe leads the Bunny Hop!) We Bunny Hopped, Limbo'd and Cha-Cha-Cha'ed the night away! Readers I was just tickled pink and turquoise at our turn out it was everything we'd been dreaming about for months and months! (Myself & Lisa head of Costuming at the Theatre) (Patricia and J.T.) (Amanda and Braxton are 'going steady') It was about this time in the evening we drug out the limbo stick (a Casablanca party tradition!) to see how low everyone could go! (Here I go!) (Miss Margaret!) (Make it Meg!) (Our Limbo Winners, Heather, Margaret & Meg!) With the Limbo title tucked away, and all the votes in Miss Casablanca (Kelcie- Master of Ceremonies) prepared to announce just WHO would be in 1958 Prom Queen! And our 1958 Prom King & Queen are... (Francis and Olivia!) Everyone clapped and cheered (We based the prom queen votes off of best girls costume, and the queen got to pick her king!) and then the King and Queen lead the Prom Court in a dance... "Queen of the Senior Prom - The Mills Brothers" (Aren't they sweet?) Next Dance up was "The Stroll" (Me and Patricia) (Francis, Caitlin & Kelcie) (James & Joy!) (Michael & Disa) (Patricia & Russ share a dance.) The dancing portion of our evening was finishing up in fine form, everyone picked their partners for the "school dance" "If Dreams Came True" and while dancing cheek to cheek I saw the Magic of Prom that so often one hears about. Ya know the kind you dream about only to discover its a stuffy evening in ill fitting formal wear. But this friends was the real deal, everyone looked so sharp in their suits and gowns- some sporting corsages others boutonnieres. All I can say for our 1958 dance is that dreams really did come true! * * * Immediately following the dance the guests headed up to the Casablanca for the first Drive-In picture show of the year. This years opening feature being a movie called "That's what I am."- As the credits flickered across the screen and our friends departed one by one a magnificent evening was drawing to a close. (Friends- Russ & Chloe) This picture reminds me of Norman Rockwell's "The Morning After, New Year's Eve at the Waldorf Astoria". The Spring Break Dance is always an indicator as to how the rest of the Casablanca's Social Season is going to go, and with any luck this year will be one for the record books! I'd like to give special thanks to our "Prom Committee" Patricia, Joe, Cheryl (who also costumed most of the guests), Melissa, Meg, and Terrace! As well as a special thanks to everyone who brought food for the party, (a very special thanks to Mr & Mrs Adams for making a pot roast, along with a ham and many other delights!) and last but not least a HUGE thank you to all of our friends for making the night a smashing success! Wish you were here! -Mick-
