Hey, Gen-Xer Amy! I love your story and can SO relate! I wish I could attend your Halloween Dance Party…….but the 49th parallel is in the way. It sounds like a fun time teaching your daughter all about your joys of music and dancing. Ok, I can create my own dance party with my Boomer rock and roll music. When my grandson visits me, we usually have one get-down-boogy-woogy rock and roll dance to “Pallisades Park” by Freddy Cannon. Check it out on utube. I watched the likes of Ricky Nelson and The Shirelles on American Bandstand but could never get the hang of how the dancers jived. We had our own jive style up here in Canada. And Oh Gawd…spin the bottle! Great closet story! Hope to meet you one day Amy. Eileen Pedersen
