  Joe,

Q. I am looking for a file that I believe
you gave us. . .it is a video of a young woman and young man doing the boogie
woogie to piano music played by a man.  I thought I had put it on my hard
drive, but cannot find it. 

If you know the one I am referring to
and can send it to me, I surely would be grateful.

A. "Dancin' The Boogie"
- by Silvan Zingg Boogie Woogie Piano

& Maéva Dancers

My
favorite, I play it a lot. They are the best I’ve seen.

-------------------------------- 

Response:  That’s it!! 
Thanks so much.  I agree with your
assessment of them, and it is my favorite, too.
