Listening Music.

Dance music is not the same as listening music. In Argentina more people listen to tango music than dance to it. How many people like to listen to Waltz music and yet do not dance it? Dancing just to dance may be exhibition and competition dancing. Horse of different color.

Dancing to "Til I Waltz Again With You" by Teresa Brewer, because both partners like it and it is something unique is not readily understood by most DJs. They really believe that the music that they play is what you should enjoy. Not what you want.

Some times they play a certain style of "From Here To Eternity" almost like a rumba and I can enjoy dancing a rumba to it simply because I like that version.

"Hello, Young Lovers"  ...  Matt Monroe

The best DJs on Oahu are the line dance DJs because they have a Play list which they constantly update and ask for feedback. It does not contain style and other nit picking detail. Just the name of the song and who's version. They hit the nail right on the head every time and the dancers get what they want, not what some expert tells them that they should want. And the dancers get better informed every day.

Most dancers that prefer live music are mainly interested in the sound of live music (with all its mistakes.) The human touch seems closer at hand and then they dance to it because the body wants to move to that music. Most natural thing in the world.

"No Me Voy Sin Bailar"  ...  Ana Belen

This is all coming to pass in the new West Oahu, where the dancer is king (and queen.) Listening is different than dancing, a different outlook and a different receiver. And we are lucky that in the West, we have some of the best DJs and the best musicians on the Island. The entire group is coalescing. No one has to support anybody, you just go where they treat you right. Dis Da Place!

Pub's Side Note:
Blogging seems to believe that 40% of their readers are below average. Whereas, ordinary media, (that puts out "to whom it may concern" data,) figures on 60% of the recipients to be below average. They are both wrong, how you figure?
