Making Adjustments

Dancing in the Dark the new, revived blog is doing much better than I expected. Perhaps name recognition helps. At any rate it is the most recent of the blogs I have set up for our blogosphere. It has already passed Bailando in total hits, and both Bailando and Beyond Oahu in average hits per day.

It is right behind Moanalua Corridor and it just may catch up by next month. I was hoping to get Dream to Dance Studio to anchor our news weekly but that appears lost for a while.

Meanwhile, I am trying to get Greg the Salsaman to have some of his people contribute news and photos for the blog. Then I have to see if I can make contact with Al Franz to get something in the blog at least once per month. With one more Guest Author, we will have Dancing in the Dark back in the fold with the rest of the blogs.

"Your Mama Don't Dance" by Loggins and Messina

I have added the "Nightfall" to the header so we will be covering the Night Club and the Waikiki Dinner/Dances more. But the blog has not been properly defined yet. These adjustments and definitions will come.

We will be picking up the right people to contribute the info and the fotos. Fortunately we have gotten Jimbo Johnson on the team as Guest Author. This should enable us to reach the next "wall" or plateau. I may even decide to eventually delete one of the blogs. The hits will tell me the story.

cannot do without." ~Confucius

Music
Surrounds Us
And we wouldn’t have it any other way. An exhilarating orchestral crescendo can bring tears to our eyes and send shivers down our spines. Background swells add emotive punch to movies and TV shows. Organists at ballgames bring us together, cheering, to our feet. Parents croon soothingly to infants.

And our fondness has deep roots, we have been making music since the dawn of culture. More than 30,000 years ago early humans were already playing bone flutes, percussive instruments and jaw harps — and it has progressed for millenniums. Yet in some of our civilizations we try suppress this urge. "Don't let your body move if it wants to move to the music. You are civilized."
