The joint was jumpin’ with live jazz and even livelier bodies bouncing around the floor.
She entered slowly one long leg emerging from the front slit in her long, black dress after the other leading her across the dance floor, passing the bar with a wave to the bartender.
As she crossed to the double doors along the rear of the room where the big guy doorman, otherwise called a bouncer, smiled at her indicating she was a regular and welcome indeed.
A smile lit up her own face as she slipped through the opening, glancing around inconspicuously before turning to the left and walking along the thickly padded walls.
Her destination was a few steps away, easily found in the dimly lit room.
She slid onto the high stool as smooth, sexy, jazz oozed from the trio on the small stage, looked straight ahead and said, “It’s still warm outside Sam, so leave the olives and make it a twist.”
I miss dancing in the basement! Good times.
yes, this picture was the beginning of the creation that turned out beautiful and everyone in the family had parties. good memories. records were 45s
then.
I like the build up describing her entrance and moving to the bar and then ending with the prompt word.
Thanks Frank. I could hear the jazz playing in my head.
I love it when photos or memories are used to create the stories. Nice job!
Thanks Kristi. didn’t have the exact photo that was in my head.
You did a great job of setting the scene in your SSS. What a fun gathering place for your family and friends.
Good memories Pat.
Nostalgic, beautiful and fun! ????
The rage was for everyone to have a basement party room. Coal furnaces went out and oil tanks came in.
Evocative on multiple levels. A culture gone into the past, a view of the world fleeting for all that it may have been of the imagination.
‘cellent Six
I still prefer cozy small places instead of big, load open rooms, even in restaurants. There is something personal about them.
thanks. so true about a peek into a past culture.
This was a “cool” Six, Arlene 😀
No trouble whatsoever picturing the scene – nicely done.
Thanks. I could hear the smooth saxophone as i wrote.
Following your words, we walked in right along with her, and settled in for a marvelous evening of good music and libations. Very well done!
Thank you. Glad you were right there with me.
Wonderfully word-painted scene!!
Thanks. Glad it resonated.
Indeed–you’re welcome 🙂
A well known woman who knows what she likes. Fun Six.
