Thanks for all the compliments. I don't have any of the records left, but I think Oliver posted a mp3 on his site. It was also on my myfistinyourface blog, but I haven't checked it in a long time, so I have no idea if it's still there. I'm sure someone has it. I can post it if nobody beats me to it. I'm almost 100% on my phone for computer Accra, so it may take me a minute to fire up the old Mac mini with the file.

It was a backyard party with no obvious dancefloor...so there were clumps of people scattered around dancing throughout the night. My favorite though was playing that George Strait by request for my friend's parents who slow-danced together by the pool and then when I played Dancing in the Moonlight next, they danced on the diving board.
