NO, it started because someone started this thread.....Ron wrote:The bitching and moaning I think he's referring to is the constant broken-record "you aren't dancing Lindy Hop", and "why don't you play some Lindy Hop music?" postings all over the net.
This latest round of discussion started because of the above statement, which I still find pretty insulting. Peter, even if you say you enjoy it all, don't you understand how we think this might be insulting?SirScratchAlot wrote:the reason I play Mora more, is because I tend to DJ lindy Hop events....
here in Los Angeles when we have a Lindy Hop event , dancers expect music that is "known" to be for Lindy Hopping. so thats the music I play. to keep them happy and comin back.
Barbara is a blast to dance too, I've seen her countless times here as well as in Europe , But it's not "know as" Lindy hop music. It's jazz that swings, and I consider atleast what I do to it mostly as swing dancing... that doesn't mean no one can Lindy Hop to it.
If you are insulted by my answer to the question you asked on this thread, which I might add is based off the fact I acually put on Events, thats your problem and nobody elses...
since I've been open and honest with you and have told you what I base my opinions off, what is it you do to know what dancers want? and how many times have dancers constantly complained on swingorama?
