Disco...yep, I'm going there

We've all read the comments about disco music, most seem to heavily weigh on the side of "it sucks". I cannot say how many times I've read that two word remark......yet, without any explanation. One thing for sure, that era defined our consciousness and is an important part of our musical history.

Frankly, I love listening to several artists from that era ... Bee Gees, Donna Summer, KC & The Sunshine Band...………..

I really can't understand how anyone can listen to these artists and not be moved to get up and dance. That IS an emotional connection. The exact connection most of us long for. So, what's the problem?

Sorry, too busy grooving to some 12" remixes to answer that question

"If you love disco, check out The Disco Biscuits!"
Aquatic Ape - never really understood those lyrics. Interesting song to dance too.

Just Last night I caught a little of Saturday Night fever by chance after the Sixers/Nets game - Wow what a great movie that was and brought back some fine memories . In the late 70’s I said Disco Sucks over and over - but still had a wonderful time dancing to the music . Never bought a single Disco Album but my wife had a few and they are still in our collection - yet - rarely ever see playing time. Personally I preferred funk and still do . Had some George Duke on just the other day . Right after Snarky Puppy and before Mt. Joy .

Where did those good times go - Don’t know but busy making more . Still dancing at 60 and don’t intend to stop .

Okay, so disco sucks. We all know that. But what about this? Is this disco? Sure sounds like it. But its .... good!
