First posted in April 2007, I just heard this group again live in the NPR studios and was reminded how much I love, LOVE this video. Please let me always ALWAYS be the woman who would turn around and start dancing.
A good Saturday morning start. Enjoy!

Great start to my Saturday, thank you!
I'd like to think I would have tapped, clapped, danced and engaged eye to eye.

Me too!! How could all those people stand around all wooden with that going on. :o)) You know, if just one had really let go, I think a lot more would have felt 'permission' to, as well.

Thanks I needed that! Despite some disappointing news this am, I am very happy to report I am NOT that poor man that can't look. "I can feel it"

You so would be the woman jamming with them. You rock Patti...and are cool enough to hang.

I can say unreservedly that I would be dancing. Last Saturday when you posted this my son got married and Scott and danced and danced all night long. And I even sang in public. It was wonderful. I couldn't even watch the video without dancing. I believe it would be impossible to listen to them and not move.

I love it too. It made me cry: Paris, the metro and others things. So emotional...

I read your wonderful book and I wondered if I might be the woman you saw dancing in the car. I am a woman of a certain age. I work at the Smithsonian and I live in Maryland and I am always out and about, all over the WDC area, and I am always dancing in the car. Loved your book, love your website. And I hope that we both are women who are never afraid to dance.
