Entering the bar, Jake hummed “Dancing in the Dark”, not the Bruce Springsteen version but the Cole Porter classic. Approaching the dance floor his song became louder. Looking for a dance partner, and finding none, Jake swayed alone, remembering his late wife and their last dance there.
The crowd stopped, the band hesitated and then the older members started playing the song.

What a lovely way to turn back the clock for a moment or two. Simply delightful.

A nice bit of nostalgia and dance down memory lane for Jake, and the band 🙂
