Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from April 29, 2022 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

The 60s dance names known since I was 7 -- the frug, Watusi, etc. -- I can't define or recognize which is which when it comes to the actual moves. The moves are visually familiar, of course, but except for the obvious Hitchhiker and Mashed Potato, probably, I can't say, "Oh, that's the so-and-so," or do them on command.
