A Song for My Sisters

Party Train by the Gap Band

Several years ago now I used to do a lot of clubbing and there was a real retro revival going on, particularly of the '80s. We can certainly see that now in fashion. And as an aside, I will not be wearing neon, or baggy T-shirts with tights any time soon (though "Peter Pan getaway boots," maybe, hehe). One of the things I noticed with the retro music was that it was primarily New Wave music that was getting lots of play and there were many, many things that were getting left out.

I stumbled across this video by the Gap Band and it took me immediately back to a particular time and place in our household. We taped videos like fiends with tapes named things like "Videos," "More Videos," "Even More Videos," "Can You Believe It? Even More Videos." And this one got a lot of play. So I'm sharing it with my sisters, Suzie and Shannon, so they can get a little groove on today. Feel free to dance along!
