“Hey big spender…”

Try 16 2/3 rpm

Laverne and Shirley worked briefly as taxi dancers.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0628996/Wow, that episode aired the year “Star Wars” came out.

“That’s… an interesting scent, Alice…”“Dance like there’s nobody washing, right?”

@ $1/dance, they won’t make minimum wage.

I still have a 78 with Ella Fitzgerald singing “Cow Cow Boogie.”

Steve Allen told of a panhandler he gave a dime to, who promptly went to a “10-cents-a-dance” joint.

I think that’s there’s no sadder professions, than taxi dancers, and Arthur Murray dance instructors.

They also made 8 1/3 rpm records. I saw a player at a hamfest (electronics flea market) that had 3 speeds, 8 1/3, 16 2/3 and 33 1/3 rpm. It was for playing records for the visually impaired.

“I’m your private dancer, a dancer for money. I’ll do what you want me to do.”

Uber Dancers – an idea for the 21st century!

Oh, we used to dream of having disks. “Cylinders are good enough for Sousa’s Band,” Dad said.
