Thanks for the welcome. Actually I have posted a few times (a very few) under my old user name FireNightDance (yup, one of my all time favs). I check out this forum on occassion, not as much as in the past. Working as a bartender (plenty of late nights) doesn't allow me to much free time. I first found out about Vince Aletti's book through this forum and just thought I should post what a great find that book is. Now if I can only find the time to read it all.

As for myself been a fan of Disco/Dance/Soul/Pop music since I was a 12 year old back in 1971. My only connection to Club/Dance music these days is I get too program the music (ipod) for the bar I work at in New Haven, Ct. It is more of a pub setting type of bar and not a dance club.

Also I am kind of shy at first.

I was about eight back in 71 Muggy. I bought the book about two weeks ago. So far, I've got up to October 1975. Excellent stuff so far, although most of the releases are 7" copies. I reckon it will cost me a fortune once the 12" comes into force!

Over here in the UK, we had a publication called Record Mirror. The disco pages were by James "The Mighty Chopper" Hamilton. They were a bible to dancers over this side of the pond back then. I only caught on in the late seventies until the paper shut down in the mid eighties. Now if someone could publish James' back catalogue!
