PLAYLIST FROR “I’M IN A DANCING MOOD” (AN ARCHIVE RE-BROADCAST) )9.25.22)

25 Sep

Couldn’t do a live show this week. So I dipped into the archive from a few years ago. From the intro I wrote at the time, clearly the more things change, the more they stay the same…

Though there aren’t that many reasons to sing or dance these days, just to make certain we still remember what they look and sound like, I played a couple of hours of “dance” song and great singers. Now that’s my idea of dancing with the stars!
