I decided to mix it up for May and read Steps in Time: An Autobiography by Fred Astaire.  I love Fred Astaire.  I have Fred Astaire movies on DVD, recordings on CD and even pictures of him.  He was stylish, an amazing dancer, a great singer and actor.  I found the book fascinating.  Astaire is a very good writer.  I knew a lot about Fred Astaire, and yet I learned so much more.  His early career with his sister Adele on Vaudeville and Broadway were particularly interesting.  I didn’t know that much about his pre-movie career and personally find Vaudeville and Broadway fascinating.  Astaire’s writing took me to the those periods he was describing.  There were almost 50 photos included with the book, which was wonderful.  How could I not love more pictures of Fred Astaire?  I might have to break out some of my DVD collection and enjoy them all over again.
