Burt loved tap and step dance, healthy Burt did.
Burt during dementia gave Irish step a pass, at least he did on St. Paddy’s in 2023. I was reminded of this last night while watching a snippet of very enjoyable step dance at New York Irish Center.
In deference to the many times we enjoyed Riverdance over those well-years, I put Irish dance on TV. He was annoyed by it. Oh well. Guess not everyone’s Irish on St. Patrick’s Day.
Music, like dance, went in and out of favor. I had to hit the remote on Connie Francis one evening. That was counter to all expectations- play music that your loved one grew up loving….
Poor Burt, I subjected him to reams and reams of the Top10 from his youth practically every week during the last months. Before that, we did love us some Lawrence Welk on its regularly scheduled PBS revival [sigh, since canceled.] Burt even tapped along with Arthur Duncan while sitting in his Big Brown Chair.
this is our life
