Dance Information

Back in the late 1970s I went to a bar with friends from work to play pinball and other bar games.

Heart of Glass was playing on the jukebox and for some reason it really resonated with me (still does) - no clue why as it is definitely not any genre of music I generally listen to; maybe the interrupted back beat.

Suggested music is Flights of Fancy from Celebrate 50 Years with the Boston Branch.
