I’m at a wedding in Texas. The crowd is a pretty wide age range. This ~75 year old cowboy starts dancing with a 30 something woman. He’s got a push broom mustache, denim shirt tucked into his wranglers, brown boots, and… Crazy moves! He’s spinning her around, keeping a tight frame, and generally having a great time.

He was looking down most of the time, smiling a little, and just getting into the moves. He clearly put in a lot of work, and really enjoyed the act of dancing. He finished the song with a courteous goodbye, and the woman seemed like she had a great time.

This is a good wedding 😊

    Like all of us, boomers have something good to show, but rarely know what. One of the funniest memory with my dad was when on some celebration I put on a D’n’B track and we challenged each other in our footwork. All sweaty, smiling, laughing, and others were wathcing us as we drop our feet to high BPM in tact to the rhytm. This old man danced like he knew how, and I barely followed his energy.

    The shame is - I can’t recall, what track I put on. Probably Stompox but maybe something from Future Prophecies.
