no twisting... ie. the dance, unless you must...i hear it's a great cardio workout..and good for lower back pains... no twister, well maybe, that's an idea.....no twizzler's, no naughtiness...well, maybe a little..he he!
hopefully you'll find this 'twist' challenging...maybe annoying...i'm just glad i won't have to participate! i'd fail!
and we have guest judge's as well! a progressive folk /psycho-billy/ band that is touring the country but based from my little town of eureka springs, mountain sprout!
i'll post links to their site and some of their songs.
more tomorrow!!! let's have fun! let's uke!
just uping the ante...making us all better players...pushing us forward....like this whole seasons have done!
i hope you all will embrace it and rise as you have all done so far!
and there will be prizes!

'a litle twist'...what, like a knife into an open wound? :)
 
Psychobilly? I am all ears (and smiles)...god, I still gotta get my entry for 16 in- where did this week go?
 
Giddy-up! Good one. The twist is brutal though for us 20 takers...prepare to witness chaos!
