Greg - I haven't really considered your specific song list (I will), but first a generic comment re tempos. I DJed band breaks at Bal Rendezvous and played only a couple of songs over 200 and a LOT in the 185-200 bpm range. I got no complaints and the organizers (and a couple of the old time balboa ...

I have been reviewing to my Book (for the 500th time) listening for the energy that can drive a Balboa crowd wild! (Kyle - Think Lawrence Welk). The biggest difference I feel between most new recordings and many of the old translate to me as energy and drive. I think that all the factors discussed a...
