My son and I were just discussing music the other day - something came on the radio and I was telling him what we all used to do in a club (clapping over our heads at certain times) and he seemed surprised that it had been “club music” - I think he thought clubs were more specialized like they are now (country, or that techno crap, or just rap) - I told him we had all kinds of stuff, even the crappy songs to clear the dance floor so everyone would go buy a drink! ;^)
The club i mentioned yesterday to ConorMacnessa, Rumors, was one i used to go to when i was in law school. I am astounded it’s still there and functioning as a club. Xsteen said she wants to go. That was the very start of New Wave music, i remember being there, vividly. That’s what Norma and i were talking about this AM. i said where do people our age go to dance? She said they have things called Cabarets where a bunch of them rent out a church hall and have music and dance, about 4 x per year. She was going to look into it for me, i said my hub and i would probably be the only white people there but she said, no you wouldn’t, you would be surprised. She lives down in Warrenton, VA which is about an hour south of here. We couldn’t go to a young person’s club without looking like a cougar and besides, we want the old timey music. Looking at the songs along the side of that Chuck Brown Bustin Loose page, i see lots from my ipod and def stuff from back in my day! No one’s kids are getting married yet in my social set, so there aren’t even weddings to dance at. And xshub’s annual meeting had a MAGICIAN [rme] instead of a musical act this year. i have to wait for his southeast conference down at Amelia Island at the end of July and hope they got a shag band in for that! i will have to ask him.
i am LMAO at one of the commenter names on the youtube page— caucasian pinata ! great name for a band!!
I’ve never been to a “club” in my life. Give me a bar with a jukebox and a pool table.
