  I always loved to dance. When I left the Kult the first time . . 1980s I was early thirties, I would go to the clubs in NH and Massachusettes. If the band was good I would lose 5-7 lbs in the evening just from dancing EVERY song!! WooHoo!. Never had any problems meeting the girls because I loved to dance and was a good dancer. Met Alot of asshole boyfriends too (that didn't like to dance).

  Dancing was a real joy for me, and helped alot with my self-esteem after getting away from the Kult back in the 80s.

  I was Jean-Jean the Dancing Machine!!! HaHaHa!!

  I got that back in 1977 when the song was first released. It was just one of a long series of cognitive "triggers" for me. Triggers that all added up and eventually led to me walking away from the Kult . .

  There was a young fella I worked in with a machine shop in Manchester, NH in 1977. His name was Vernon. He sang in a local band and he would practice to tracks while working . . he was very good. I got to really hear the lyrics to this song while he practiced at work while operating a Burgmaster Machining Center making submarine parts, me too, at this point I wasn't going to let a little thing like that keep me from supporting my family . .

  Vern, wherever you are . . thanks!

  A Hendrix UBI (Useless Bit of Information), or Trivia, your Choice: Hendrix was opening for the Monkees during the Summer of 1967 tour, this was before he was a household name but after his June 1967 Monterey Pop Festival appearence.

  BTW, if you are a Hendrix fan and have never seen the Monterey performance, do yourself a favour. I have seen it many times and my mouth still hangs open every time.

  pink floyd in my opinion really kind of fused orchestration with electric guitars in a heavy progressive way which blazed the trail for progressive groups i feel.

  here are my all time favs from pink floyd and mr .

  gilmour and watters.. 1. comfortably numb.

  Roger Waters with Van Morrison singing the Chorus, backed up by "The Band", from the sound track of "The Departed". Un-frikkin'-believable . . .

Been out of work (GIS geek, Telecomm, Analyst, etc) since April, Unemployment running out soon . . I needed something positive.
  
  Thank you
