55.0. "Country Music/Dancing" by SCAMP::BARROWS () Fri Mar 14 1997 15:02

    Hi all,
    
    I've been browsing and ...waiting...  Figured now I'd bring this up.
    
    Does anyone out there like Country Music?  There's alot coming up that
    we could plan together (concerts, clubs, line dancing lessons, Indian
    Ranch... etc.).
    
    Anyone interested?  I know a few people who teach line dancing and one
    (for sure) would teach us all for a small fee.  I'd like to learn it
    but have been avoiding the Senior Citizens and the advanced classes!!
    
    Let me know... I'd be willing to keep track...
    
    Yee Haw....

    Steph - see future social events, I used to make the line dance lessons
    at The Penitentiary every week, but I haven't been lately...

Somehow line dancing at a place called the "Penitentiary" seems 
too funny. Still, I think I'll take solitary confinement instead.

:-P

          I'm actually not overly fond of C+W.. I'll listen to it but it
    does bring back bad memories... The ex used to go to her BF house to
    listen to C+W.. I walked in on them once ,ok I knocked it was hist
    house. They were sitting there all cozey listening to Achey Breaky Heart
    while tearing my heart to pieces.. But with my humble hat in hand I'd
    consider trying line dancin but be advised I gots two left feet ;-) C+W
    isn't as twangey as it used to be...

Bruce,

That TNN C&W show i like to call:

"American Farm Stand"

55.18yup, I do it for the exercise.. (-;ORION::KENYONif I had a spell of magic...Tue Mar 18 1997 19:298
    yup... it looks a whole lot easier than it is... and, it is great
    exercise and fun...

55.19;-) American Farm Stand (-;ipl31.zko.dec.com::LARUau contraire...Tue Mar 18 1997 19:3320
    joyce...
    
    I'm sure there are some difficult steps in some of the line dances...
    but not everybody can do them, and most of the ones they show
    on TNN are pretty insipid.
    
    I also think they are much too regimented;  it's just too much
    for  my 60s mind-set to cope with!
    
    I think LD is a good way for some people to have fun, and it
    allows some people to dance who would never dream of it any other
    way.   Again, this is not to say that everybody  who does it is
    uncoordinated and inept...  just that those qualities don't get
    in the way  ;-)
    
    I like that, Daryll...  that's a whole lot nicer than the one
    my ex came up with...  which is just too unpc for  me too enter
    here...  maybe at a dinner sometime.

55.21ORION::KENYONif I had a spell of magic...Tue Mar 18 1997 19:399
    Line dancing is fun because you don't need to have a "partner" to do
    it.. you can go to a club and dance.. not sit at a bar waiting to either
    get the courage to ask someone, or wait to be asked to dance...  
    
    I started taking lessons so that I could get out and have some fun..
    plus it is a great way to meet people.. you can't help but meet someone
    if you bump into them enough times.. (-;

Hmmm, always did like jeans and cowboy boots!  ;-)

I too don't tend to choose to listen to country music but I do like some of it
and love to dance to it - course I'll dance to just about anything, right 
Joyce?  ;-)  (have even been known to do the electric slide in bike cleats while
balancing a plate of food - ah, guess you had to be there!  ;-) )

I've talked about going with Joyce but my schedule's never been open at the 
right time....

B
55.27SALEM::DODAResignation SupermanTue Mar 18 1997 20:0117
Right Joyce. Been there and done that. So I'm more than qualified 
to comment aren't I?

Oh, and yes I own those grey boots, but since there's no buckle 
on there and nary a feather to be found on them, I'm sure the 
fashion plates at the local corral would frown on em.

It's a fad. It's dying a slow painful death. I hope it twists 
slowly. The local C&W place, The White Buffalo in Haverhill MA,
that was booming just a year or so ago now offers "greatest hits 
of the 60's, 70's and 80's", on Friday nights no less. When you 
can't fill the place on what should be one of your busiest nights, 
the writing is on the wall.

I feel so much better now :-)

    re: .25
    
    Hi Bruce,
    
    I treated myself to a good pair of cowboy boots while I was on a
    business trip in Dallas... I have had them about 3 years now.. they are
    the most comfortable pair of boots I've owned....
    
    
55.30from the PC side of me...ipl31.zko.dec.com::LARUau contraire...Wed Mar 19 1997 11:3814
    Thought from the shower:
    
    I need to say that I don't want to denigrate anybody's choice of
    music or dancing or...     if it makes *you* feel good, then it 
    *is* good.   You (obviously) don't have to justify your choices 
    to me....
    
    But I also think  that so much music could be better if the suits
    would just stay out of the loop and  let the boys and girls *play*!
    
    
    [I don't want to derail the discussion  from .1]
    
    /b
55.31ORION::KENYONif I had a spell of magic...Wed Mar 19 1997 11:4217
    
    It would be a shame if it was a fading fad... It was the first time I
    felt comfortable going to a club without feeling like I was in a "meat
    market"... 
    
    I'm sure there are still people there for the "meat market" aspect, but 
    the atmosphere was much more fun and open...
    
    Daryll, it sounds like you had a bad experience, you should try going
    to a club again, but with more "fun" people.. (-;   
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
55.32SALEM::DODAResignation SupermanWed Mar 19 1997 11:4612
Bad experience? Oh yeah. Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass. I 
can't stomach 99.9% of the music and that could be a minor 
problem :-)

In any case, I do apologize for the rant yesterday. It didn't 
take long to get back into that "digital" state of mind. Everyone 
has their own thing and as Bruce said, that's "cool".

    re: .29
    
    Kathleen,
    
    I know someone else who got some nice boots in Dallas, too...  
    must be the place!
    
    I  had a couple of pairs of really nice boots once...  one was
    mail order from sears (!?!) when I was n the Air Force...  they wore
    out.
    
    I bought my last pair of really comfy boots in Oakland when I moved
    back east 20-odd years ago...  I took 'em to be resoled, and
    (as I discovered 6 months later) the bozo put a huge gash in the
    leather, just above the sole.. finally broke open, and those boots
    were done.
    
    I got a nice pair in Phoenix las December, but I haven't broken
    them in.  They seemed to fit quite nicely in the store, but a
    walk in downtown SanDiego a few days later made me vow that my
    next boots would be custom-made...

    	Thinking about this conversation last night I realized - I'm sick
    and tired of having to defend my right to enjoy line dancing.
    
    	Yeah - I know most people make fun of it - I enjoy it, its great 
    exercise, and I have fun.  If you don't - that's your prerogative -
    stop trying to convince me I shouldn't enjoy it!
    
    	I've never tried to force it down anyone's throat.  After
    yesterday's conversation, I will admit to a certain fantasy around
    something I would like to do with someone's throat - however - since
    you apologized Daryll, your safe :-)
    
   	BTW - buckles and fringe don't make a cowboy boot.  Since you took
    two step lessons you can comment on two step - but until you do line
    dancing you're not qualified :-P
                              
    joyce
55.35PCBUOA::DEWITTput on your rainbow shades...Wed Mar 19 1997 12:1814
    	Kathleen makes a *very good point* going to a place to dance and
    not feeling like your in a meat market is one of the things I really
    liked about going to The Pen.  
    
    	You don't have to dance with anyone, you don't have to sit on your 
    butt and wait for someone to ask you - when you know the steps you just 
    get up and dance...
    
    	Another thing I noticed is people don't sit around and laugh at you
    when you're learing, infact most folks will give you a few pointers.
    
    	Ok - end of my tirade on the subject :-)

    footwear than boots.. Hey I'm a runner my feet sweat profusely. I could
    pix me taking my boots off and seeing people 50' away passing out ;-)
    That and I look like a dweeb in a cowboy hat.. Then again it mighta
    been the 10 gallon hat with my gallon and a half head.. I'd still be
    willing to try it though.. Seeing Joyce at 4 Points several weeks ago
    do a line dance impressed the dickens outa me!!

    	Actually Bob - you don't have to wear - a hat, one of those flag
    shirts, chew tobacco or any of those stereotypcial things.  Sneaks
    don't slide well on the floor, but there's resin type stuff you can
    step in.  
    
    	I prefer the boots for the comfort and support.  Not everyone wears
    boots - infact at The Pen lessons there's a group of women in their
    50's or so, who wear dancer type leggins and heels - not spike heels
    but more like tap dance shoes.
    
    	On a regular dance night - you're more likely to see hats and
    western type attire - but is not a requirement.
    
    	That was the boot scoot boogie they played at the Sheraton - a fun
    dance - thanks!

    My neighbor has been trying to get me to go to El Dorado in Dracut for
    the past couple of Tuesdays for LD lessons. Fortunately I have been 
    busy but I am running out of excuses so I might have to give in next 
    week. Have you even seen a oriental cowboy do LD? :-) At least I have the
    boots since I went to school in WV. 

    What the heck? I will give anything a try at least once.

  I thought I was the only one that knew about the wet noodle torture. Can
  anyone keep a secret these days. Now the only thing I have left in the 
  bamboo in the fingernail. Opps! I guess that one is gone also.
 
  As for the music, it's not that bad. I just think of the "Eagles" version 
  when they sing the CW version of the songs.

    re:  36> Bob, as Joyce said, it's not necessary to wear the boots.  I
    wear sneakers for the lessons.. they're more comfortable for me.  The
    hat is optional but the jeans aren't  ;^* !
    
    re:  37 et al.>  As in any music, there can be some that just 'stink'. 
    I happen to enjoy Country Music but learned a long time ago that it's
    someone else's story being told.  Ok.. we can all identify with some of
    it but same goes for any type of music.   
    
    I enjoy getting together with people (YES, I behaved myself Saturday
    night.... I would have ended up running a close 2nd behind Harry and
    CJ if I hadn't!).
    
    This was a suggestion for something else to do (and can be done during
    the week as well....).  Anyone up for the El Dorado next Tuesday?  I'm
    game.  I don't know how to get there but I'm sure someone can give us
    directions.

    Come on, Hee-Haw was a classic..  (-; 
    
    "where oh where are you tonight, why did you leave me here all alone, 
     I searched the world over and thought I found true love, you met
     another and (** ;-P **) you were gone"
    
    My mother was a country-western music lover and she liked John Denver,
    I think she has every record he ever made.. ok, so I was musically
    challenged as a child.. (-;

55.57Hee-Haw and John DenverTBC001::DROVERHEDGEHOGThu Mar 20 1997 13:5931
    HEY!!!!
    
    now now!!!!
    
    I actually miss that dumb show Kathleen... and as for John Denver, he
    really did some wonderful stuff. Of course he followed up one of the
    most beautiful love songs (You Fill Up mY Senses) by doing in his
    marriage bed with a chainsaw...
    
    But that song has a really special place with me...
    
    You fill up my senses
    Like a night in the forest
    Like the mountains in springtime
    Like a walk in the rain
    Like a storm in the dessert
    Like a sleepy blue ocean
    You fill up my senses
    Come fill me again
    
    Come let me love you
    Let me give my life to you
    Let me drown in your laughter
    Let me die in your arms! (*sigh*)
    Let me lay down beside you
    Let me always be with you
    Come let me love you
    Come love me again
    
     -  I think that's it but it's been such a bloody long time....
    
55.58I know alot of his stuff by heart... ORION::KENYONif I had a spell of magic...Thu Mar 20 1997 14:2138
    I like some of John's earlier stuff...
    
    Like the "boy for the country"
    
    and this song that I can't remember the title of:
    
    He was born in the summer of his 27th year
    coming home to a place he had never been before
    he left yesterday the highways, you might say he was born again
    you might say he found a key for every door
    
    when he first came to the mountains
    his life was far away
    on the road and hanging from a song
    they say that he got crazy once and he
    tried to touch the sun, he lost a friend
    but kept a memory
    
    ** oh ya, "Rocky Mountain High" **
    
    and this one:
    
    Ship mates and Cheyennes
    raindrops and crying
    on the dreams of an old, old man
    
    candles and church bells
    laughter and farewells
    revolve in his thoughts like the wind
    
    **********************
    Yup, I'll admit ol'John Denver was quite a song writer... he was just
    such a weenie... "Far Out!"  (-;

    Funny... I was agreeing with Kathleen when she applied the term
    "weenie" to good ol John.
    
    Maybe she was already trying to get away from him and he tried to
    restrain her till he could get his hands on that chainsaw... hrm

         My fav John Denver is with him and the Muppets. Peope normally
    look at me as if I have two or three heads when I say this... Well
    that is until they hear it... Then they usually go out and buy it 
    themselves..
    
         Weenie?? I remember watching the Revenge of the Nerds when the
    head cheerleader had just done the jack ching batta bing with the head
    Nerd. What she had to say isn't suitable for this forum ;-) Then again
    in J D's case they night've broken the bed and the fall to the floor
    may have broken a rib??

    I think it was Kermit who asked JD to take off his glasses and then
    when JD did, Kermit realized he had made a mistake and asked him to put
    them back on.
    
    But... how can you guys (non gender specific) call someone who has the
    soul to write stuff like he did a weenie.  Maybe he should swagger and
    carry a chain saw?  Or maybe just sing the ol' Monty Python ditty: "I'm

    Joyce always knows (like days before).  I mean, I have a very
    limitted wardrobe.  But my mood swings (by the hour ;->) and
    I couldn't say what the heck I would wear tomorrow.  Might be
    a good day, could be a "fat" day, could be "holy sh*t! I need
    make-up and some color", or could have a green eye day (must
    wear purple then!).

B
55.89BUSY::SLABA Momentary Lapse of ReasonFri Mar 28 1997 17:209
    
    	I wear pretty much the same thing all the time, with minor var-

    	Blue denim and brown western boots, and some sort of striped
    	shirt.  Sometimes black denim.

    "Operator", "Wild World", "American Pie" and one of his own which
