Real dancing instead of the drill team steps they do now, all the while demanding what the band plays that will suit their regimen, and sipping water all night long ...

You must have been playing the same clubs I'd been playing! GRRRRRR! Really gets me P.O.'d.

You play it, we dance to it! 2-step, 3-step, waltz, west coast, east coast, night club..... And we buy supper and/or drinks. What burns me are the "arm dangelers" who don't know how to dance, flailing around like total idiots, crashing into people and thinking that they are cute and special. They have no idea of tempo, where the downbeat is, 4/4, 3/4 or what the character of the dance is for that song. In reality, they look stupid because they are plastered. AHG!!!

Oh yeah, in IMHO, country-western 2-step is king of dance. It takes no brains or ability to arm dangle....

It makes my day when folks dance a little to my playing (mostly at Senoir Centers etc.) The people I want to take a stick to are the people who put those dance teams on Pop Goes the Country. (there is a place for Cloggers and it's not on stage with country music) Second thought the lip-synk thing with no band on the stage. That made a joke out of the music and that put country musians out of work.

What about good old fashioned square dancing? All you need is a fiddler and a caller.

Kevin Lichtsinn · Post by **Kevin Lichtsinn** » 17 May 2012 5:54 pm

I have square danced, but it ain't my bag.........but there still are number of people around in my neck of the woods that do.

playing at the lodges for all the dancing couples is a beautiful healthy thing.
