Now does "Happy Go Lucky Local" count, since the "Night Train" riff came out of it? If so, then hands-down, I can't get enough of LCJO's version from Live in Swing City ! Jesse Ditto. It's one of those versions that I can never hear enough of or dance too many times to. Tina 8)

Re: Hustle: the Westie's Bal

I have come to the conclusion that Hustle is to Westies like Balboa is to Lindy Hoppers. Since South Florida is quickly becoming the Salsa/Hustle capital of the world, I so get the analogy. And you're right. I actually took a Hustle and Salsa lesson last week and I liked the Hustle. I don't think I...

Yeah, I just saw it this morning. I'm at work, so I haven't had a chance to read the propaganda over.

Just curious... are you cancelling or do you plan to stick with them?

Voted "don't care" because I am comfortable with either scenario. Although from what I've seen in my limited time on the board, discussions are pretty serious about 90 to 95 percent of the time. I think you get that occasional burst of "silliness" because its bound to happen with...
