This week, Can't Stop the Music starts with covers (of course), reaches into the grab bag, and shimmies in Club Levi-Strauss in honor of the French anthropologist who led us to see our "primitive" neighbors as ourselves.
I love dancing to drums, don't you? Hey, put that book down, get over here, & swish that grass skirt.
