Dancers Are Special People — and EVERYONE can dance!
I updated my article over on Squidoo:
Here’s an excerpt from the introduction:
You may laugh but it is true! Everyone can dance!
How many times have you heard someone say “I can’t dance”? Hmmmm? I bet you’ve heard it a lot.
However heartfelt folks may be who say “I can’t dance,” they are incorrect. They are mistaken. They “jus’ ain’t right” or, as we say in Texas:
“They are pure-dee wrong!”EVERYONE can dance!
Dancing only requires two things: (1) the ability to move (2) and the ability to “hear” a beat.
To Dance, all you need is…
(1) The ability to move:
We’re talking getting from one spot to another. Even if you move slowly, or use wheels to get around, that still…

Thanks to everyone who has visited or shared.
If you haven’t checked out the article please do so. It is a list of music (lots of cools songs) and books written by the guests on the Rachel Maddow Show. April is current through last night’s show. All of March is there and all of Feb except for a couple of days at the beginning of the month. Jan should be listed by the end of the week.
If you want to read about some back ground on why I wrote the article and why the ranking is so important, check out my blog post:
Even if you hate the Rachel Maddow Show, help out a struggling writer by at the very least going to the page and allowing it to load. Every visit helps in the ranking. Then if you are feeling generous, hit ALL of the like and share buttons for the social networks to which you belong!
See ya on the dance floor!

My New Article Books and Songs from the Rachel Maddow Show is a “Chart Rocket”!!!!
Ok, folks, something really cool is going on — I have a chance at a real, honest to goodness, money-making article! Woot! Yeeeeeeeee haaawwwwwwww!!!!!!
Those who have followed my posts here know that a little over a year ago I lost my job as a librarian. Since that time I have been trying to switch from “unemployed” to “self-employed” and one of the ways I’ve been doing that is to write online articles over at Squidoo.
They say in the “writing business” that you should write what you are passionate about. For me that mainly means dance, which unfortunately is NOT just a huge “money making” topic for writing.
BUT… I do like books as well. And, I do like the Rachel Maddow Show. And I noticed something interesting the other day when I looked at the “Top 100” lenses at Squidoo…. TWO of the Top 15 “lenses” which is what Squidoo calls “articles” are about BOOKS! Now there is something that I can write about which I also can be passionate about.
I was a librarian after all. 🙂
So, I created a new lens: Books and Songs from the “Rachel Maddow Show” (Current Season) and I published it on Friday the 12th in the wee hours of the morning. Since that time here is how it has ranked: Read the rest of this entry

Weekly Line Dance Top Ten Lists Updated 4/5/2013
There Are a Lot of Line Dance Lists!
There are lots of places on the Web that track the “Top Ten” line dances on a weekly or monthly basis.
And every single one of the darn tootin’ thangs seem to have a different way of calculating just which dances are the top ten.
*sigh*
It’s enough to make one’s inner domestic diva want to take off her tiara and eat bon bons!
Never fear, dearest readers, all twelve of you who actually read this blog… I, the awesome, the fantastic, the studly, being the kind, generous, friendly, charming person that I am have set out to make sense out of that muddle of mish-mashy information and simply for you. Can I have an amen?!
Ok, so, what I’ve done, is create two articles on Squidoo:
TxCowboyDancer’s Weekly Summary of Top Ten Line Dance Lists
What you’ll find on this page is a summary of all the Top Ten Lists that of which I keep track. You’ll find a simple straight forward listing of the “Top Ten” dances from each list along with a link to the full list for that website. Here is the blurb from the beginning of the the Review:
Welcome to TxCowboyDancer’s Weekly Report of the Top Line Dances from ranking sites around the world.
Keeping track of all those line dances is a lot like Herding Cats which is why I created this summary page to make life a bit easier! (And why there is a photo of a cute Cowboy KItty. 🙂
Those wanting more information can follow the links to visit a “Detailed Report” for each site containing the “Top Ten” dances, links to the stepsheets, demo & walk-through videos, and the music for each dance.
TxCowboyDancer’s Best of the Best: The Hottest Line Dances in the World
For those folks who don’t even want to deal with the summary page in the List Review, I’ve created a page where I only list those dances appearing on multiple websites. Here is the blurb from the beginning of the artilce.
I monitor several line dance survey lists from different websites:
1. World Line Dance Newsletter
2. LineDancer Magazine
3. CopperKnob Line Dance Archive
4. Kickit Line Dance ArchiveThe following dances are ones which appear in the “Top Ten” lists on at least two of the four websites listed above, making them the most popular line dances on the planet!
HOTTEST — On all Four List
HOTTER — On Three of the Four Lists
HOT — On Two of the Four Lists
[Check out the dances listed in the article...]
So, there you have it, I hope you enjoy my two summary lists.
See ya on the Dance Floor!
