Friday, 9/2. Well, we survived Hermine. Remember, folks, the
next time you think you can ride out a big hurricane that this was barely a
1. I'm sure if you live inland, you are fine. If you live on the
beach, you probably aren't too fine this morning, and if you live close to the
beach (like me) you are probably soaked with lots of limbs down and maybe you
lost power. Just a barometer to keep in mind the next time a storm is
coming. This storm was really a water storm with wind but we had a lot of
water and also a lot of wind. There is still a high tide coming today that
they are talking about. Lots of beach erosion here in the Clearwater area
and I'm sure it will be worse north of us. I haven't seen pictures or
vidoes of what happened after it left the Tampa Bay Area but I hope our friends
are okay and as it moves up the East Coast hopefully it will be less harmful but
I guess we will all have to watch what it does. I hope when the
restaurants and shops open again on the beaches that you will make a special
trip to support them because this is one of the big weekends for them and they
want and need your business to help recover. Keep everyone in your
thoughts and thanks for worrying about all of us over the past few days. Hope
everyone is okay. If you go to
baynews9.com and/or ABCActionnews.com you will
see lots of visuals. The news did a great job keeping everyone
informed. I have to tell you I bought this little $10 lantern at Big Lots
when I was there the other day just in case and it was AMAZING!! When I
lost power, it lit the entire room. You can even adjust the
brightness. I would strongly recommend it or something similar. Mine
was made by
promier.com and they look way more expensive on the site than I paid
but I'm sure lots of people sell these lanterns. It even has a handle and
a compass on the top in case you feel like playing Paul Revere in the
future. It has 30 LED lights and uses 3D batteries. I looked on
Amazon under LANTERN LIGHTS and there are a bunch of them. Goodbye, candles,
forever! LOL.

Wild Wild West 2017
From: Michael & Michele
Hello Dancers, we have some exciting Wild Wild West news to share with you
all. Ever since the wonderful event in Reno we have been wondering what might be
next. To keep with Amy Oyang's original idea of having the Wild Wild West in the
Bay Area on Labor Day weekend, we have what we think is great news. The Wild
Wild West will return Sept. 3 & 4 of 2017. Yes, one year away. Designed by
Amy as a small intimate workshop, this return will be just that. The headliners
are no other then Rachael McEnaney-White and Fred Whitehouse. Rachael and Fred
are set to give us 2 days of professional instruction, wonderful demonstrations
and to spend some quality time with the Bay Area dancers. The event will take
place at the Newark Pavilion, on Thornton Avenue in Newark, CA. The dance hall
has a terrific wood floor and stage. Because of the size we are able to have up
to 200 dancers attend. This is twice the number of what we could accommodate in
the Ballroom in Fremont. Our new website will be up soon with all the
information, plus online registration and mail-in registration. So keep an eye
out and register early. If you are on our mailing list from the WWW Reno or our
Boogie Til The Cows Come Home event you will receive updates. Just email us to
be added. Our goal is to sell out so we can make this a yearly event. Start
planning now for the WWW 2017 and help spread the word. San Francisco, Oakland
and San Jose are the area airports, with San Jose being the closest.
Note:
WWW 2017 will be on a Sunday & Monday of Labor Day weekend. WWW 2018 will be
on a Saturday & Sunday of Labor Day weekend.
Take care everyone and see you on the dance floor sometime soon.
Michael & Michele

SUBJECT: Carole King’s First #1 Hit
Song
Last Sunday, Diane and I were in New York City and saw the Broadway Show,
“BEAUTIFUL, The Carole King Story”. It was an amazing production. We
loved it so much, we would see it again!! There is no other single female
songwriter that even comes close to what she has achieved in her lifetime.
Carole King was named the most successful female songwriter of 1955–99 because
she wrote or co-wrote 118 pop hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Among her
most famous songs were: It’s Too Late, Up On The Roof, You’ve Got A
Friend, I Feel The Earth Move, The Locomotion, Will You Love Me Tomorrow,
Jazzman, So Far Away, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, Take Good Care Of
My Baby, One Fine Day and Some Kind Of Wonderful.
Her very first HIT song is a song most Carole King fans are not as familiar
with. It was the first song she recorded and auditioned with back in
1962. It was the first collaboration with lyricist and future husband,
Gerry Goffin. It is called: “IT MIGHT AS WELL RAIN UNTIL
SEPTEMBER”. It was first recorded by Carole, but was given to teen
heartthrob, Bobby Vee who recorded the song and it became a Hit overnight.
It’s a great song, a nice syncopated rhythm foxtrot. The moment I heard
this song, I knew that it would make a great line dance. The music and the
lyrics, like all of Carole’s songs, make you want to sing along and get up and
dance.
I have just published a line dance to this song.
Thank you for taking a look at this new dance. It is an Improver /
Low Intermediate Level Line Dance, but some High Beginner classes will certainly
enjoy it.
