John Roberts is on a 'disco theme' right now. He's bringing out some of the top hits from back then and giving some of us a little trip down a memory lane of our own. Let me tell you a story that I was reminded of because of John's posts.... It was the 80's and my then boyfriend and I got interested in disco and took lessons. Oh I had the disco outfits and we would go out on weekends and put on quite a show. It was a lot of fun, but that was a whole different time.... When Christmas rolled around I wanted to get my boyfriend something disco related. What would be better than a disco ball?! I had no clue where to find one so I decided to drag out the phone book and start calling...but who? A lighting store came to mind. Here's how the first phone conversation went: Phone at store rings: ring ring ring Man: Hello, can I help you? Me: Yes you can - do you have mirrored balls? Dial tone After that I decided to ask the question a little more delicately! I can laugh about it now and I still do! PS: We broke up, he got married and all of a sudden it's 45 years later. We have not spoken in those 45 years. He had his house listed for sale last summer and in one photo there it was - 45 years later - that disco ball hanging in his basement family room....I guess he really liked it.
