@BigJackBrass This brings a strange childhood memory to the surface:

Learning the Charleston in gym glass, in elementary school. 😮

@SJohnRoss We had to learn the Gay Gordon. Not something I've had a lot of use for in my life.

@BigJackBrass We mostly danced/marched to a thing called "Chicken Fat" which, without even looking, I can gaurantee is on YouTube because I moved schools several times and they ALL made us do "Chicken Fat" and it's presumably some kind of shared GenX trauma here in the States. 😮

So the Charleston at least gave us a brief exposure to better music. 😅
