Saturday night Emily had her 60s Dance Party and it was the best. I was lucky enough to get to pick the music...a joyful responsibility, but a bit of work: when you're dealing with songs that rarely last longer than 2 and a half minutes, you need a big stack of songs to make it through the night (case in point: I played 30 fewer songs at Emily's party in November where the dancing lasted just about as long as Saturday's party)
Can you imagine how good this picture would have been if my camera would just focus correctly in the dark?
So here's the setlist. And congratulations to you for pointing out the songs that aren't from the 60's in advance, truly you are a master.
