Viral

A friend told me that the TV20 Dance Party with Dick and I had gone viral. I checked it out and there were more than 24 thousand ‘hits’. Dick, now in heaven, would be pleased. Though he would have missed signing the autographs.

Dick and I were never paid for the 100 plus TV shows we did, but we did get a lot of paid gigs from the publicity. One time we were lined up to do a show at the Fairmont Hotel when Dick had an appendix attack and was in the hospital. I had to get a replacement for Dick – not easy. Several gentlemen had given me their number at earlier dance demonstration/workshops, so I picked one out of a hat, so to speak. He was OK and certainly bold to stand/dance in.

Public Radio had a show on today about athletes and pedestrians alike getting injured. Right. Dancing, depending on the intensity, is akin to athletics. I know. Couple dancing is the least of my dance activities. Which resulted in three foot operations. Word to the inquisitive: if you can avoid it , do so!!! Homeopathy, diet, yoga, anything. Keep on breathing…
