So, it looks like I've joined the choreographers who write to disco! Seems that's

what some of you line dancers want, so for the moment I've taken heed of the

old saying--"If you can't beat them, join them"! Barry Manilow has given this

old song a definite disco sound so hop into it, bump and grind to your hearts

content, but be careful you don't dislocate something! (-:

See you on the floor sometime……...Jan
