I used to go to the local skating rink every Friday night. Since, each time I hear "Walk Right In," I think of that rink. I think it was Rooftop Singers? Plus, some other songs. As a teenager, skating was wonderful. Have fun skating with your guy friends and making moves on your girl friends. I guess they had a jukebox but I don't remember. I was too busy skating.

I also remember going to the outside skating rink. Hound Dog and Don't Be Cruel was the big two-side hit at the time, and they wore it out. I must have been in the 7th or 8th grade.

I played for a Senior Fashion Show once. The old gals wanted upbeat, Disco music during the entire, two-hour show. By the time it ended, I never wanted to hear another disco song as long as I lived. The ladies wanted to hire me for the follow year, but I told them I was booked and managed to find someone that really liked to play disco for them.

Those were the days,

Yep... Going to 'figure eights' with a mixed skill skater crowd is always a recipe for a little demolition derby...
