I had THE BEST time tonight at my blues bar. The Sunday night jam is being hosted by someone new and he’s just about my favorite guy to dance with. He’s much younger and everyone loves him so I only get one dance usually, plus he’s on stage most of the time. He’s the one who taught me the two-step. Out of all the band leaders I’ve met, he is the most charismatic, has the most fun, is a fabulous performer, and can work any kind of crowd.
Tonight some people showed up I haven’t seen in a while. And there was a new guy. His wife died a year ago, and he had come with this woman I’m semi friends with, so we all sat together, and he danced half the dances with me. Plus, another guy, who is a fantastic dancer, was there, too. He is good friends with the tall woman, who was sharing her date with me. I think we’re all gonna show up next Sunday and do it again. Only the new guy’s going to bring his friend who I happen to know and really like. He’s too young but I’ve spent a fair amount of time with him because he lives next door to J, my old dance partner who fell in love and left me to dance in my kitchen.
It felt so good to be part of a group, everyone out on the dance floor together. And the band leader was so happy we were all there. He used to sit in with the jam on Wed nights but they quit and the new group isn’t his thing. Or mine. So, now it’s his gig, and all his fans were there. It’s such a cool place, and if this works out we will all be very happy. Ya never know with musicians, though.

I am thrilled that you had a good time…we all deserve them!
You know I think that the Two-step requires an extra vertebrae or something that I just do not have…my hips always hurt after an evening of two-stepping. And my head always hurts after an evening of “grouping” In my years…I have become a more solitary person unless of course I am facilitating a social event or play/work shop, or teaching a class. Other than that I am more of a one on one person.
But I am happy that you had a great time and that you got to dance…I know how much you love to dance.
Have a great day!

Yay for dancing and outing! I’m so happy to hear about it and hope to hear more stories next Sunday night, too
humans need to dance. we really, really do.
Ahh, dancing, I love to do it but we rarely ever do. I’m thinking I need to rectify that.
You seem so serene with this post it must be the dancing. Still wish you’d be able to find a special guy and have him be the most wonderful dancer in the world…marilyn
So glad you had fun and this reads like fun too. Yeah, musicians. But hey, my friend Elizabeth has been married to one for several years now and he’s capable of both that excitement and some stability.
You never know.
Sounds like a great evening–and the possibility of a regular repeating thing would be even more fun for you I think.
I looovvvveee to dance. Oh…I guess you didn’t know that. tehehehehehehe!
group outings are just the best, aren’t they? I hope the new guy’s friend works out (despite his being younger and all).
So glad you had a great time. I haven’t been dancing in years.
