Review

Town Dancer blog still rolling along in front of all the blogs, just not that much in front anymore. Many hits are missing their news on Blackpool by Calvin Ota and Debra.

"The discovery of song and the creation of musical instruments both owed their

origin to a human impulse 'to move' which lies much deeper than conscious
intention: the need for rhythm in life … the need is a deep one,
transcending thought,  and disregarded at our peril."

This was just about the best and most complete information we have ever had on Blackpool. Be patient, next year may be in the works too.  Of course, they both have something to say, they are just too busy.

For anyone that gets around the Islands we highly recommend using Blogging Hawaii blog. Not much contact yet but we just need that Guest Author. It can be an enjoyable experience for all concerned.

We are not club centric, we are reader/dancer centric. So our priorities are the reader/dancers. If it coincides with the club intent it is fine for all of us. Otherwise we got "trouble in Middle City and it doesn't rhyme with pool." Hopefully that Guest Author is right around the corner. I don't care who it is, but their opinion is very valuable.

The getting of photos is becoming easier with some help from our fellow dancers and getting their points of view. I am taking two extra cameras and hope I can get some of the "deluxe" pics with five or six people in, plus first names. Photos have value, and the law of supply and demand applies here too. "One photo is worth a thousand words." Three hundred million photos in Facebook are worth ?? You guessed it!

Q: Where do moths dance?   A: Why at the Moth Ball, of course!

Our total rearrangement is getting off to a slow start but should be rolling by October 15th. The hits on all the blogs are holding their total levels. A few regular contributors and a one Guest Author and the hits will go through the roof. If we are missing anyone, please let us know. We want to help all dance organizations but they must accept that we are not paparazzi, we are not taking anything from anybody.

Pub's Side Note: Sixty percent of my contemporaries are gone. Many more have profound mental or physical damage and are trapped in a tragic and minimal existence. I see it in my regular visits to the VA and the marks of decay are all too visible. I quit driving and saved money. I ride the bicycle less, because I get careless. My reactions are a little slower, names more frequently elude me, and my energies must be husbanded, but even so, at times, I may feel full of energy - and life is not at all “old.” Happy Dancing.
