Congo Dances Posted Wednesday, July 29, 2009 11:45 PM Who remembers the dances at the Congregational Church on Friday nights? How many of you said that's where you were going and didn't?

RE: Congo Dances Posted Friday, August 28, 2009 01:57 PM I actually went more Friday nights than I didn't! Although, I have to admit we almost never stayed the whole dance. I remember dancing to songs like Cherish, Along Came Mary, Just Walk Away Renee, lots of tunes by the Turtles, and the Four Tops, and I remember we all tried to do the Shimmy to a little number called "Wipe Out!" My sides used to hurt after that number! |

RE: Congo Dances Posted Friday, August 13, 2010 09:23 PM As I recollect, and some of those gigs were a tad bit foggy, Cherish was always the last song played. Food for thought. How many remember when the Band "The Never Ends": Dennis Arbour,Gary Rugani,Billy Duncan,Jeff Gardell, and Dougie Petrie played for like 7/8 weeks in a row and packed/rocked the place? "Hey Joe", "Johnny 'B Good", "Hey Mr. Tamborine Man" Cream, Beatles, The Byrds, The Yardbirds,.................. |

RE: Congo Dances Posted Thursday, October 7, 2010 09:39 PM Hi Gina - Well I remember them. Might have even gone to a few. I think the last time I went to Church there was when I become a Member. |
