Frankie 95 Festival Day 2: Frankie’s Memorial, Second Line procession, Central Park, Cangelosi Cards! (vids)

Posted on May 23, 2009 by

I finished my second day at the Frankie Manning 95th Birthday Festival at 4am, exhausted but inspired by a full day of awesome dancing and loving tributes to Frankie.  I recorded some video snippets of the day, for those who want a flavor of what's going on:

  • Swinging Reverends at the Frankie Manning Memorial
  • Dawn and Spuds dancing at the Frankie Manning Memorial
  • Manu "Spuds" Smith's remembrance of Frankie at the Memorial
  • Hellzapoppin Dance contest semi finals featuring the Cangelosi Cards band
  • Minnie's Moocher's performance

What a fantastic day! Looking forward to the formal dance tonight with George Gee & His Make Believe Ballroom Orchestra, The Harlem
Renaissance Orchestra, and Frank Foster & The Loud Minority!
