"Don't expect to make others as you wish them to be,
when you can't even make yourself as you wish to be."
The Cha Cha Cha seems to be loosening its zip. What's happening? The best dance ever developed from Caribbean natives. Was it danced by the Mayans? You can bet your dancing shoes on that. If there are no super Cha Cha Chas being composed nowadays, then there are at least 50000 that are already there.
I have heard at least 100 good ones on this island. And I mean good, danceable kind that are just asking you to dance it when you hear it. But who listens to dancers? What do they know?
"The Tennessee Waltz" by Patti Page
Of course our DJs get hubris and when a DJ knows everything there is to music, it is of no use to suggest anything. The salsa dancers have been putting Cha Cha Cha down but fortunately it is not up to them. Waltz comes and goes as it has for 200 years but it still comes back strong as ever. Rumba still staying up as good and maybe better but it may peak in another 100 years.
Dancer West, a new blog by Frank Martin who lives and works north of the freeway and is looking for dancers in Kunia, Village Park, Waiakele and Waipio. Good territory just waiting for a new dance club. The blog is not a Blogger, it is Tumblr.com and they are coming up strong. For people that do not have to have a long blog, it is perfect. Just click the name on the side bar.
In 2001, President Clinton handed George Bush a projected 10-year budget surplus over $5 trillion. Bush and Cheney turned Clinton’s surplus into a $5 trillion deficit through outrageous tax cuts for the rich, two disastrous wars, and a financial crash that caused the Great Recession that we are still paying for. It’s taken us almost four years to get out of that mess. Now, have you heard them? They have the audacity to blame it on Obama, when the Congress has been ruled by the Republicans all this time. And we are going to vote for these dumb dodos again. Yeah man!
Blogger is going through some pretty bad times. Apparently they have two separate crews. One to "enhance" the blogs to new heights. The other to try to keep the old tried and true running. And it has been rough. They are just getting the line spacing almost right, it use to unhook every time you looked around. Another three or four months they may have it as good as it was in the old days before they decided to get into this new stuff which no one really needs.
Pub's Side Note: With all these blogs available to the reader/dancers they cannot avoid learning about what is going on in our dance world and the cliques begin to lose their luster.
