I had a great afternoon. I danced my ass off. (Okay, I'll have to do a lot more dancing to make that statement closer to truth.) My new friend, Kim (a/k/a Rebel Red) threw a lovely house party. It was a pot luck and I was a little worried that I wouldn't have fun. I'm used to jamming at parties, but Kim (quite an accomplished performer in her own right) said there would be none of that at this party. There were plenty of musicians there -- it could have gone either way.... Our friend, Steve, put together a terrific few hours of eclectic "get off your ass and shake it" music for the occasion, and Kim's vision of a dance party went off without a hitch. The dance mix included greats from the 60's and 70's and beyond. One of the high points for me was Tommy James & the Shondells doing Mony Mony, which I had coincidently posted on my Facebook page just last week. You can imagine how much fun it was to have it coming from Kim's Bose system instead of these crappy speakers on my laptop.
Anyway, it was a great party - I'm glad to be meeting so many cool people in the greater Highland Lakes/Warwick area. The Spring social season has begun....

Hola Laura, Glad you're doing a blog....I enjoy your writing and seeing/hearing what you have to say. Tell me more about this dance party! Sounds like fun. People just hang out and dance?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your ramblings.
Hi Judy-
ReplyDeleteI hadn't been to a house party with so much dancing since the 70's when I lived in Boston. It was a party -- eating, conversation, etc., but one room had all the furniture moved out of it and a nice stereo system set up. Those who felt so moved just joined in and danced - no partners - everybody in one big group. It was fun as hell!
Awesome song.
ReplyDeleteMy uncle lives in Warwick, say 'howdy' for me, won't you?
