Yeah, like a few years ago when America invaded the Ivory Coast and in several instances fired on unarmed protesters.
Oh wait. That was France.
My daughter and her band are performing at a festival in France this summer called Equiblues, in the Rhone-Alpes region. There will be several Texas-country artists, they have a rodeo, vendors of leather goods, etc. Artists I’ve spoken to that have been to previous fests there say they are overwhelmingly welcomed and routinely sell out their merchandise. She did a festival in England two years ago and line dancing, while still popular, was on the wane.
My band used to play at clubs that catered to line dancers. I’d always get the band to slip in one bar of 3/4 in a 4/4 song. The confusion on the dancefloor was monumental!
I guess keeping a distance from each other is a result of lack of contact with soap and water
Explains a lot about the low birth rate.
Line dancing was created as a way for ugly people to gather together and ignore each other.
It has absolutely nothing to do with CW/swing dancing, nothing whatsoever to do with Texas, and is most certainly the antithesis of genial southern boy/girl goodtimes.
Bob Wills woulda thought someone had replaced the patrons with robots from a horror movie.
