Mood:  a-ok

If Chubby Checker has lost some of his energy over the last 50 years, he didn't show it on Mar/06/10. At 69, he still knows how to get the audience dancing to the hucklebuck, the pony, the fly, the limbo rock and, of course the twist.

The twist revolutionized rock and roll dancing in the early 1960s. It opened the door to other R & R dances like the frug, the mashed potatoes, the hustle, the moon walk and hip hop.

Recently, "The Twist" was voted as the greatest rock and roll single of all time having peaked at number one in 1960 and 1962. Surprisingly, the person who popularized the twist isn't in "The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame". Check it out. I don't see Chubby's name there. This is a horrible omission. Contact the Hall of Fame and ask that Chubby Checker be inducted.

On Saturday, Chubby gave dance lessons for "The Hucklebuck", "The Fly", and "The Twist". At least, a hundred of us, including me, danced on stage. It was one of the best times, I ever had at a concert. Four Stars.
