Another Fred Astaire Early Colour Appearance
I remember watching this on WMAL-TV in D.C. on my parents' Silvertone Roundie!

Dig the crazy camera work!!! What were they thinking? "Shindig"? "Hullabaloo"? "Wing Ding"? ("Now Explosion" was years off into the future...) "Top Ten Dance Party from the Studios of Channel Six, Augusta"?
One note... years later, I found myself running around with a woman who could've been Beverly Bivens' twin from that video. I never thought about it until I saw the video. I wonder if that influenced my later preferences in female companionship? I say that having heard that other aficionados of colour TV history later realized they had been similarly influenced...
