Two weeks ago, my husband and I went to visit his cousin and her husband. I had fallen asleep on the couch around 10pm…then I heard a great noise coming from the speakers; is that what I think it is? No way, it couldn't be-"I love that song"!
That set the pace for the rest of the evening. We were up until 3:30 in the morning running through his 8,000+ Library of hits from the 60's, 70's and 80's! I was in disco heaven! Somewhere after 2:30, he turned on his disco lights and steam. It was one night at the disco all over again, only it wasn't in the outer skirts of Frisco, it was in the family room!
I have been on a disco binge ever since frantically searching for some of the harder to find club disco hits, which rarely played on the radio.
Last night, I tuned my satellite T.V. station to "The Strobe" (Sounded disco to me), to motivate me to work on a project that I have been putting off for quite sometime--and since I was all alone in the house this was the perfect opportunity.
Of all the music in Wayne's library, there were several he did not have, nor had he remembered them.
As luck would have it, "The Strobe" played one of the songs I requested; Mandolay – and this was the beginning of a frenzy that didn't stop until well after midnight, and I am sure will continue for the next few weeks.
I am not ashamed to admit I was dancing in my chair remembering the good ole' dancing days as I plugged away feverishly on my keyboard, which led me into the world of YouTube. I am even willing to admit that when I found this all time favorite, I turned the speakers on max, called my sister, and put my phone next to them so she could hear this long lost dance hit from our days at the "The Great Skate Friday Night Skance". (Four hours of roller-skating followed by two hours of dancing)
Following is a list of artists and songs that just might take you back to a time of fun and laughter. Be warned, this is hardcore disco. Go ahead, be brave, and listen to one or two of them. If nothing else, you might get a much-needed laugh or two.
