Loch Lomond / 1941 Hollywood
My Dad would have been eighty-eight years old this week. He always claimed that Martha Tilton, a singer with the Benny Goodman Orchestra, was his cousin.
Who knows? Dad was not one to let a few facts spoil a good story.
Just look at these chorus girls in "kilts":

Miss Tilton also recorded a pop hit in 1942 of "Coming Through the Rye", a Robert Burns poem set to music.

I don't know who their "kilt" maker was, but they're showing a little too much knee. 
I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

That's a matter of opinion, I respectfully disagree with you.

Nice!
Those chorus girls are actually doing a passable first step of the fling (for the time) and with high heels too!

With the greatest of respect and with more than a wee tad of admiration, I have to say that the kilted skirts look absolutely fine to me!

I've been climbing tree's and dragging branches all day,but for some reason I could dance the fling myself just now.

Dixie cat,I see what you mean by the steps,but it reminds me also of that almost fling sort of turn about halfway through the Scottish lilt too.Just hold on a wee bit,I'll jump back an take another keek,just to help make my mind up!

I noticed that, too. I don't believe that little hip-wiggle is in line with strict SOBHD standards, now, is it?
