Martha Graham's Brithday

Post by Clavin12 »

Hi all,

Anyone who's been to google today should know that today is Martha Graham's 117th birthday. I just thought I'd share my genuine appreciation for modern dance, and dance in general. How's about some discussion?

Actually, come to think of it, no. She's awfully famous in the dance world, but then this isn't in the dance world.

It's repetative, all the same sounding, basic, and I can;t stand synth sub-bass, just can't.

Swing, now that's the good stuff.

Solution; get a decent soundsystem and be more open-minded. If you start listening to the stuff by choice you will very quickly find some you like.
