Square Dancing By The Dashboard Light

This morning, as I do on MWF, I stopped at the exercise room during my morning walk. I do a few reps in different directions with some free weights. Just to remind my arm and back muscles that I still need them. On the other side of the wall, there was a square dancing class.

The music background that the caller was using sounded familiar and after listening a little longer, I recognized "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad", by Meat Loaf. I took this as a sign of how the Baby Boomer generation(Sue and Bill included) are beginning to infiltrate the retired and "snow bird" populations of Florida. I'm not sure that, when he released that song, Mr. Loaf had square dancing in mind. I see this kind of thing as a positive note, showing that different generations can get along.

I've heard a rumor that there are 3 episodes of The Lawrence Welk Show that were recorded in 1974 that are perfectly synchronized to Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side Of The Moon" album. I can believe it. I always thought that Larry was a lot more hip than people gave him credit for. With the outfits that they wore on those shows, when they did the big production numbers with singers, dancers and the band in the back, how could you not flash on the Sgt. Pepper cover?

Peace Out!
