And with identical twins! A lot of work went into that rendition, and they nailed it!

You can tell. When I did a lot of musicals in community theater, choral harmonies was one of favorite things to do. We had a genius musical director who was – and still is – a gifted composer and lyricist, and I was fond of saying, "Steven Sondheim, eat your heart out! I've sung Dorothy --------!" I'm not sure it would be ethical to divulge her identity.
I'm of an age now where memorizing lines and lyrics is a bit more problematic, but I look back on those years with great pleasure.

I have always hated that song with a passion (Disco Sucks Always and Forever) but I could listen to this version!

“Always and forever
Each moment with you
Is just like a dream to me
That somehow came true…”

By Heat Wave

Yes, “SA” sucks. But, Gloria Gayner, Donna Summer, Barry White and the disco masters gave me a reason to hit the dance floor for good times.

I was going to these concerts:
Yes, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Rush, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, The Kinks, Van Halen, ZZ Top, Bruce Springsteen, (several multiple times) and more.
I was watching these movies:
Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Song Remains The Same, Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Star Wars. Mostly at the midnight movies, lol. Multiple times. And more. We went to the movies a lot.
I shot about a thousand games of pool. Smoked a lotta joints. Sat in parties many weekend nights that ended with us all singing Beatles songs at 2 am, if we weren't at work, the pub shooting pool, at the movies or at a concert. Went to rock bars, danced there once in a while. It was just never my thing.

But I never went disco dancing; not once

You could have. My feelings wouldn’t be hurt. Or was that you I saw hiding behind the palm tree “At the Copa Copa Cabana”?

... always a good sound system ... only drawback, never leave an unfinished drink on the table when you danced - someone would steal it, but drinks were cheaper than in R&R bars.

Good music is good music. I got tired of watching rock bands with 20,000 of my closest friends who were rude, loud and obnoxious. Lead Zeppelin with 20,000 assholes at the Richfield Colosseum in the late seventies cured me.

Reminds me of sitting in the music library in 1975 analyzing Renaissance pieces. Everything was on vinyl.

Correction - to the 1300s. The GOPee isn't too fond of the Renaissance.
