  2. Patrick,

    This is an interesting theme. Like John I had no idea there are so many songs for special benefits. Thanks for the introductory to the these which is a mix of new and old songs for me. Have a boogietastic week, my friend!

  4. I didn't even know all of these! But one brought back such memories - Hands Across America. I had totally forgotten about it. Hard to believe it was almost 36 years ago now, and I can't even see where something like that would even happen today. Those were way different times.
