Tapping today....

Tap, tap tapping.... to be precise.

Not only on my key pad... though it taps a quietly rhythmic tune.... tap, tap, tap-tap-tap

No, and I'm not a "so you think you can dance" kind of tap-dancing gal either... I just love music, and I've been skipping my "Song of the week!" a lot lately.

So... just for a change.... Prior to trying to regain a routine....  I thought I'd share with you a few songs I love to dance too.  I might even let you in on what kind of dance I do, or even share a "gold" Joce making herself look silly moment... read on to find out!

Tap one: No, not the hot-water tap, though music in the shower is good...  First it needs a beat.  Drums, bass guitar, thumping keys... check?

Tap two: Chords... or is it cords??  The intro... those telling couple of chords or notes that tell you to get off ur butt (or put aside that job)... the next few moments are dedicated to...

Tap three: Tapping!  Do you sit and tap you foot?  Do you slap your knee?  Do you click your fingers, or even clap your hands?  You do!  That's tapping part one....

Tap four:  Another use for joints... Neck? (No, I'm not a headbanger generally)....  Shoulders, elbows or wrists? (Well if your clapping or clicking you're in already)... mmm What about your back, hips, knees, ankles?  Many would say this is where the music ends and the dancing begins..?!  Tee, hee... I "won" an award as a primary schooler for my "groovy hips"!!

Tap five: hopefully no one is watching by this point... is there a partner to hand?  A towel, broom, mop, vacuum hose... or even a mirror... The chorus, or the riff is especially important...

And you bow... or give yourself a round of applause... and and encore?  Gotta love the CD player.  Though like the old LPs it can skip a little is you get too enthusiastic!!

What do you like tap, tap, tapping to??  Or more appropriately... what CAN'T you help tap, tap, tapping along to.  The best thing about doing it alone... no one laughs at your daggy moves!

Here's a few songs I enjoy tapping to:

• OK Go's - Oh, lately it's so quiet...
• Spearhead's - Stay Human (All the freaky people make the beauty of the world)
• The Cat Empire's - The Rhythm
• The Sleepy Jackson's - Good Dancers 

Too much thinking!  The CD player is prepped and the volume is... loud enough!  So it's tap, tap, tap-tap-tap till next time. Tshuss
