Yup, I am there! Just heard this song on Sirius Radio and it took me back to a dance when I was in grade 12 and met a guy that could DANCE! We danced song after song! It wasn't until the following school day (Monday of course) that I discovered he was in grade 10! Oh, the humiliation! I fraternized with a kid!
It was ok with my girlfriends, but my class felt I had somehow betrayed them. I was a senior. How could I have lowered myself to dance with a young punk?
Because he DANCED! He didn't just grope or hold you so close you couldn't breathe so he could cop a feel. He had style and panache! And I loved the artist in him . . .
Peer pressure - do I give in and never dance with him again? Thankfully, NO! I enjoyed every dance that senior year. Thanks to Gary Smith! Wherever you are Gary - thank you!
