Wow - thanks, Mark! It was great to be reminded of both of those videos. I remember seeing that Public Service Broadcasting video a few years ago and had to show it to my wife immediately -- she is a roller-skater. I should compile a YT playlist of my favorite dancing videos. They never fail to cheer me up to watch them. Natural mood boosters!

And yes, it is surprising and a bit sad that so many friends aren't interested in discovering new music (my wife is one of them). I guess to each their own. I have many friends who pursue/obsess over new music so I don't feel a lack of community. And here on Substack that community has exploded! Like you say, it can be overwhelming to even attempt to keep up! There's so much great stuff out there -- and treasures from the past to discover...It requires some amount of discipline to parcel out the time so things like eating, working and sleeping don't fall by the wayside! Thankfully many of those activities allow for music to co-exist....

Thanks for reading!
