Shaping Up.

Only three days and they are shaping  up already with Town Dancer still in front, followed by Platinum Horseshoe and Blogging Hawaii. The rest are still scrambling for fourth place. No hurry, this month will pretty much establish the trend and the information contributor whoever it is, will decide it.

"Many people use music as a couch. They want to be pillowed on it,

relaxed and consoled from the stress of daily living. But good music

was never intended to be soporific. And all dancers know this."

Looking over the stats on all of my blogs and I have found that I have not got rid of the scam spam robot hits that must be doing somebody some good, but certainly not us.  At least 20% of the total his on each blog are possible scam spam robot hits and search engine hits. Not real reader/dancer hits.

"Skylark" by Jimmy Borges

This month has been very informative. I am getting to know a little bit more about my blogging. Blogger stats are not perfect but they are helpful. The total hits on our blogosphere are running about 80$ US and 20% to Latin America, Europe, Russia and the Orient. Not too bad.In the US, they may be running about 80% Hawaii and 20% Mainland. Again, not too bad. That means that from the total hits recorded by Blogger, well  over half are from readers in Hawaii, mostly on the Island of Oahu. And there is where I want most of the action to occur. It is with this small select group of social dancers that these blogs will develop information for the good of all the dancers on the island of Oahu.

The best use of blogs at the moment is by Divino Ritmo Studio in which they give notice to Frank and his terrific blogging and also to Richie Fun blogs in the Dancing Nights blog. Divino Ritmo Studio is moving into the top spot of all dance studios on the Island of Oahu. None of the others make any use of the blogs available.

Holding On Nicely

This Oahu dance blog has remained very nicely right about where the old one, "Live Music" was. And every one all around us on Oahu seems to be gearing up to a good year 2016. Most of us in the blogs have short attention spans and most of the dance action that we are interested in will occur currently and we are not interested in "Marking our calendars for next year."

"Adoro" por Armando Manzanero

Would be Paradise, living on the North Shore if there was some place nearby where you could work. But going all the way to Honolulu, Auwe. Some lucky ones can be home in 20 minutes. Now that is living in Paradise. Perhaps someday, we can all hope for the best. Anybody got something to say to da folks, Dis Da Place.

With just a few of these we coulda had it made in the shade. One tenth the

cost of the Rail Catastrophe and ten times more efficient. But we know,

It was the bread, Fred. Millions and millions of dollars in profits.

"The Following Sea" by Don Ho

The Shorelines of Hawaii, are the best attraction for living in Paradise, but the money is in the big cities and they want more. Keep the country, country was for the benefit of the very rich in Hawaii not the ordinary law abiding citizens. On the North Shore it means less money for schools, streets and no sidewalks. Definitely no shoe stores and no place nearby to work. The residents could live, work and play in their own kuleana without kissing okele in Honolulu. That would be Paradise.

Still In Question

Steady as she goes but this blog is still at the bottom of our blogs on Oahu. Comfortably in double digit average hits per day but with only me and my SOS. Think of what could develop if we had one good steady information contributor. Wow, we would have more live music data to share and the hits would go through the ceiling.

"On Oahu, by doubting we can be led to question,

and by questioning we may arrive at the truth."

Fortunately the dancers that love to dance to live music on Oahu, are getting to recognize the basic steps in Social Dancing. Sure.they learn tricks and fancy moves but those are not for everyone. I am even seeing more choreographed basic moves in the Mariachi Bands. The Rock Step and the Chassé, especially now that more dancers are coming into all Latin Music. Anybody ever dance a Latin Waltz?

"Morir Por Tu Amor" por Xavier Solis

For sure there will be a Mariachi group forming this year. The normal for years when only as a concert, was four guitars,four violins and four trumpets for a total of about12 people in the band. Later on they found it easier to have three of each. Less Cost but still big crowds to appreciate the music style and they could play anything. Rumba, Cha, Cha Cha etc.

"Cuando Eschuces Este Valse" por Vicente Fermandez 

Then in this century, there are more bands and they have come down to two guitars, two violins and two trumpets and they are playing more danceable Latin music. They may be the first group to play strictly Latin for a dancing audience on Oahu. Latin Waltz, Rumba, Cha Cha Cha, Samba and Tango. Times, they are a changing.

Slowly She Goes

Soliloquy from Hamlet by Shakespeare.

To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the
mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or
to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them?
To die: to sleep;

We can dream, can't we?

I read this in the past week while I was going through my physical and mental distortion called depression. It is mainly that I live in a new place and I know no one. And I cannot get around much anymore. So I going stir crazy. Then I found myself in Tripler Hospital for a stay of two weeks. I am regaining my old strength back.

"My Way" by Jimmy Borges

I am making an agonizing reappraisal of my blogosphere and it is not too bad. Town Dancer, the blog is now becoming one of the gang instead of being way out in front.  Blogging Hawaii and Platinum Horseshoe got the best chances of getting into first place with just one good steady information contributor.

"Have You Ever Seen The Rain?" by Amy Hanaialii

The different points of view in our blogs is what make the interest not the SOS that I write. Look at all Web sites, dancing or others,they are not to be read everyday. One like Dance Fever Oahu usually has update information on many events. And Frank is doing a good job of getting information to convey to the readers. Those are up at the top.

"Take Chances, Dance More Dances." 

 

The thing to do, it seems to me, is to prepare yourself so you can be a rainbow in somebody else's cloud. Somebody who may not look like you. May not call God the same name you call God - if they call God at all. I may not dance your dances or speak your language. But be a blessing to somebody. That's what I think.

Two Weeks in the Hospital

All the blogs lost hits in the two weeks I was gone except that Dancing Nights did not lose so many. Richie Fun of course was the answer. He has Information Contributors and he is willing to share this information with our fellow dancers. Divino Ritmo Studio is rapidly headed for the number one spot in the Islands. Blogging on Franks blogs too.

"The chief vice of many people consists not of doing evil by lying

but in permitting others to do so."

If there is a little Live Music on Oahu that you recommend, let us know.

So for sure, one more steady Guest Author and a few Information Contributors will send the hits going through the roof. If we have enough information to share we will have the readers interested. Photos, of course, are a bonus and the right ones are at a premium. Two dancers in the photo are better than one. Three are better than two and Four are better than three. Why, because it represents a fun group. This is Social Media and  the more the merrier.

"Save The Last Dance For Me." by the Drifters 

 

Meanwhile, Dancing in the Dark is developing as a sort of weekly recap for all the blogs in our Hawaii Blogosphere and is phasing into more. It is holding up very well in the hits and I expect that it will get rolling by next month. I should have all of them posting at a steady pace and the hits will tell us the story. So far, Town Dancer has been the one to have dropped more than the others.
