30 Mar DJ Inky’s Social Distance Dance Party, Pt. I
Welcome back, Gentle Reader(s). I trust that you are all keeping the protocols and keeping the faith. My ‘Shelter In Place’ playlist has elicited a positive response from across the intrawebs—thank you one and all for the positive feedback—so I’ve decided to dip into the DJ Inky archive and put together some toons gauged to get you up and out of that chair, on your feet, and onto the floor. It could be the living room floor, the kitchen floor, the bedroom floor or whatever—just get UP, get on the Good Foot, and move around!
No way to know how long it may yet be before we can reconvene in the deep, dark confines of Ye Olde Matador Bar & Lounge, but when such time does come, dear friends, I trust that we will sanctify the moment and recognize how much we take for granted in our day to day lives. As the song says, You don’t miss your water till the well runs dry.
So I hereby offer and extend to you my Social Distance Dance Party playlist, Part the First. Stay tuned for at least one more installment in the days to come, and in the meantime:
Stay Strong, Stay Safe, Keep Calm and Carry On!
