SEPTEMBER 9: “Riffing on The Singing Stick”—my online book bash. I’d love for you to come! Details and RSVP here.
This is a favorite .alley song and the dancing g was amazing but I struggled to get past the pretending to be old thing. As an "old" dancer it feels Like white people doing blackface. Why not just dance in the body you have? And if you want to show old folks dancing...we can move like that. I promise. I'm 67 and could've done that dance.
Wow! What a fun duo! Great music too. Thank you for this day-brightener! Yes, it made me smile wide!
