I am feeling super inspired by this blog on raving as a mid-life transfemme by @phillmv

There's a lot I can't relate to as a very cis person who doesn't drink, but dancing with fellow rejectors-of-the-societal-script at regionals (Burning Man events *not* full of RVs and icky wealth) as a #burner might have saved my life and nervous system and helped me have hope for humanity.

It's a long read but I loved all of it so much and learned a lot. #raves #dancing #blog

My #SaturdayOnStage pick for today is an uptempo number from the 1959 Alan Freed movie "Go Johnny Go!":

The Flamingos: Jump Children (1959)

Although the Flamingos were better-known for their ballads, you wouldn't believe it from the wild dance routines on this clip!

The line-up of the group at the time was Nate Nelson, Tommy Hunt, Jake Carey, Paul Wilson, Zeke Carey and Terry Johnson. In addition to singing, Terry Johnson played guitar and Zeke Carey bass.

Marv Goldberg writes:
"In April 1959, the Flamingos appeared in the Alan Freed movie, Go Johnny Go!, singing and dancing a frenetic version of "Jump Children". The routine had been recorded in a New York studio in February. Even off the screen it was a crowd-pleaser: "We always closed with "Jump, Children", says Terry. Note that while the film opened in many markets in April, it didn't make it to New York until the end of July."
