| A note from Dan Zanes: when "rocket ship beach" came out and we started playing more shows, not only were people singing along, but when we played "rock island line" or "all around the kitchen" they were flying out onto the dance floor. nothing felt better than seeing grown-ups, kids and babies dancing with each other. the message was sent. there was no turning back. a show didn't seem complete without a dance party finale.
It was clear that the next offering for the all ages underground had to be something people could use for their own dance parties at home. with friends like father goose, the sandy girls, rosanne cash, barbara brousal, loudon wainwright lll, donald saaf, the rubi theater company and sandra bernhard, making this kind of rollicking record seemed like a natural good time.
the reports coming back seem to indicate that if the spirit is right a dance party can happen anywhere, any time.
