On very short notice: Lindy Hop and Swing legend Norma Miller in Berlin

For those of you who will be in Berlin this weekend (February 7 and 8, 2015):
Normal Miller, last of Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers will hold two very thrilling lectures and talk about the Savoy Ballroom in New York and the time when Swing was the music you heard on any corner in the US.

Miss Miller, 95, has a very interesting and entertaining way of recounting those days and I cannot recommend enough to attend those two dates.
Anybody interested in jazz music, the lindy hop or popular history in the US will be very pleased to hear the account of a very special eyewitness.
