U. of Chicago
Final photo before turning in early. Still unused to the local time, SHIT. I fell asleep at 3pm this afternoon, woke at 7, and am now WIDE awake. More photos of Madison, Wisconsin tomorrow.
This shot is of Ida Noyes Hall in the University of Chicago, where we joined the Chicago Swing Society for a lesson and a night of social dancing. Really beautiful interiors add to the mood, and I felt transported 60 years back when black big-bands jammed in the Harlem dance hall in NY, while Frankie Manning, "Shortie" George Snowden, and other Swing dance greats came up with the Lindy Hop, which eventually evolved into Swing, Jive, Jitterbug and Rock n' Roll among others today.
