Anna looks beat after dancing to that crazy Calypso beat. She’s wearing an orange slash-cut dress that is perfect for dancing and clubbing, and stiletto heals.

Today’s 78 rpm record is a calypso number titled Johnny Take My Wife which was recorded in 1931. Calypso is a style of African-Caribbean music from the islands of Trinidad and Tobago. The singer is Frederick Wilmoth Henricks, known as Wilmoth Houdini, who was a great Calypso singer. Houdini made numerous recordings from the 1920’s until the 1940’s.
