I completely agree with 1971, but not so sure about some of the others. But of course I realize how fierce the competition was.
Merely more about personal, or even sentimental, enjoyment, whether simply LOVE the song, find something a snazzy stepper throughout the day, maybe even some, played at a key moment at life. But all in all, mostly about pure FUN.Quote:
