@Rasta Still an old favorite. @psetnik

@AlliFlowers I had my music, my business music, and music that haunted my memories. I knew 1914 Wartime Ditties, and sang K-K-K-Katie, when I was a child 😎 weird diversity

@Rasta Damn…I sing K-k-k-Katie almost every day, although I change the words a bit. We have a pool robot that skims the surface, and it’s branded Betta, so we call it Betty. Which makes me sing B-b-b-Betty, b-b-b-beautiful Betty! You’re the only one that I’d let clean my pool! …and so on.

@AlliFlowers you're funny, I fill my pool from the ocean, but since the flash flooding a couple of weeks ago, we can't get clean water. Looks clean but it's full of silt. It would choke a pool skimmer. He just pump it up and refill it every couple of days it's like swimming in chocolate milk lol

@Rasta Sounds…delightful?

@AlliFlowers I grew up in the military family too, with influences of other countries, my music was all over the place, different languages too

@Rasta Best way to grow up. And best way to enjoy music!

@AlliFlowers I was a DJ for a few decades and had to rearrange my music. Since I put away the business, I've gotten back to music that I like again.

@Rasta I have a very broad and eclectic taste in music…which doesn’t include contemporary country western.

@AlliFlowers when I started DJing, I refused to play Country. I'd pass work off to another DJ rather than spend a night with George Jones. Well, turns out, money is a motivator, my largest business collection is country now.

But do you know the dance? It's been maybe 40 years, but we used to do this line dance to The Alleycat at every wedding reception. Mom taught me.

@psetnik Well of course! It was mandatory at Bar Mitzvas too! @Rasta

@psetnik @AlliFlowers I was told to try anything once, except incest and line dancing
😉
Never knew a dance associated with it, but often taught every other dance from Pony, Macarena, ketchup song etc

@Rasta My dad always said “try anything once, twice if you like it.” I don’t recall his stipulating exclusions. @psetnik

@Rasta @AlliFlowers @psetnik

No Kidding! I used to work at a music store in State College, PA, "Alley Cat Music". On the wall, he had this. Or in the case w/ the harmonicas and their ilk:

This isn't the pic I'm looking for, but it'll have to do for now so I can move on to the next thing and stop obsessing over it.

@Rasta @AlliFlowers @psetnik
(you don't realize it of course, but I just spent hours trying to find the /actual/ pic...)

@ajaxStardust I would have, too. I did that the other day, only to find the post I was trying to reply to had been taken down! @Rasta @psetnik

@ajaxStardust @AlliFlowers @psetnik Bent Fabricius-Bjerre (7 December 1924 – 28 July 2020), better known internationally as 'Bent Fabric', was a Danish pianist and composer.
