Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, 7mhz backyard dipole, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com

"Moondance" Van the Man. S-9 ++ on the big loop in W. PA. Nothing like a hi-fi fat AM sound. You're quieting the band. James Brown once said Van Morrison was the only White guy who knew how to sing Soul Music.

Do you have "Land Of a Thousand Dances"? Wilson Pickett at his best.

"Dancin' Machine" into King Harvest's "Dancin' In The Moonlight". Springsteen caught heat early in his career for supposedly swiping King Harvest's sound from their fans.

The BeeGee's, are you trying to get people to smash their radios?

Lionel Richie. "Dancin' On The Ceiling".  This song and it's video were bad enough the first time around. Take your transmitter and go stand in the corner. The BeeGee's and Lionel Richie in a row,that's how they torture prisoner's in Guantanamo.

How ya doin', Andy? I see you lurking on this thread.

Springsteen w/ "Dancing in The Dark"

Martha And The Vandella's w/ "Dancin' In The Street" The Who does a great version of this.

"Come Dancing" a great song and video by the Kinks aka The Muswell Hillbillies. I forgive you for the BeeGee's/Lionel Richie mess after Martha and the Kinks.

Abba "Dancing Queen" Back to the corner.
