A long time ago when we first had disc jockeys on Oahu, they usually played 45s and there was always a pleasant pause between songs. Then the profit makers stepped in, perhaps they needed no Disc Jockey. Just put it on a three hour tape and let it run. It has evolve to this day and not many know why. Nowadays, in many places there is only one song about 3 hours long.
Not many people know that much about music - what is playing or why. Everyone just takes a chance and does the best they can. It has worked very well in Salsa and Tango because it was Salsa or Tango all night long. But not many know anything about our music and the best way to play it. Most DJs on Oahu feel that they must keep up with the latest music. The line dancer DJs, are gems, and of course, there many good DJs in the social dance clubs on Oahu.
But how about for social recreational dancers? They are still part of the old breed. There is nothing we can do for the perfect DJs out there, but perhaps we can convince some of the ones that are not perfect, that they can do better for the dancer. Most of the dancers and DJs will of course be pleased, and everyone will be coming out smelling like a rose.
Feedback to and from each member of our dance community will evolve in these blogs. For now, not many understand feedback. Not this way. The readership is still going up ever so slowly, so we will get feedback. So far, it has been a one way street, the two way street will clinch our blogs. And there are photos to cover too. Photos that we can include in these blogs. Who?
Social drinking is the recommendation that men between the ages of 21 and 65 should not consume more than 2 drinks a day. Women and everyone who is over the age of 65 should not consume more than one drink per day. Here a drink is considered a standard beer or a standard glass of wine. A lot of people would argue that these safe limits are unrealistic, because going to a Night Club on Oahu will just naturally have everyone drinking more. And very few get stinking drunk in our social dance environment. We will go more into it later.
“You have to love dancing to stick to it. It gives you nothing back, no manuscripts to store away, no paintings to show on walls and maybe hang in museums, no poems to be printed and sold, nothing but that single fleeting moment when you feel alive."
