: Hi Jan! 🎸 ♥ 9:27am
WR: Hello Jan and folks.

Just realized that I forgot to find a "square dance" version of Red River Valley.
Here is one:
youtu.be...

Looking up square dancing I got side tracked from finding the recording by the "Henry Ford funded and encouraged square dancing in USA schools to try to head off the young people from being seduced by jazz" rabbit hole. Another pretty nasty rabbit hole of culture and class wars.

I have a meeting right at the beginning of the program today. I hope work doesn't keep me away from the whole show like it did last week.

Sooner or laters.

I have strong memories of the mandatory square dance lessons in elementary school in the early 1970s. I preferred to watch Soul Train. ♥ 9:53am

Seems so, as I remember you referencing watching What's New Scooby Doo as a child, and I grew up watching the direct to video movies that came out shortly before (and can remember the original Scooby-Doo still airing on Cartoon Network, although I was very young when it was still on regularly). Kitschy Mama is apparently in a similar age range as well. I said I was trying to do a special on overplayed pop songs from 1997-2004 and she remembers those.   🎸 ♥ 10:14am
