That's not a typo. About 2 1/2 years ago we thought it would be fun to post videos of us dancing to the oldies on Youtube. We've kept at it, although we are close to running out of oldies (and we don't care for newsies....is that a word?).
We have 850ish videos on our "channel." (something else we could never have anticipated when we were kids......having our own "channel").Our "channel" doesn't accept advertising (gross), so the algorithms that are used for Youtube don't direct people to our channel very often, although we have to admit we have never seen another channel of old baby boomers like us dancing to the golden oldies.........so maybe we really are special (too bad our moms aren't around to ask).
The heck with that woman in the jeans (drawing a blank on her name at the moment because we've never heard of her and are too lazy to look up her name). That requires no talent, does it? She's probably so envious of us.
There doesn't seem to be a lot of competition for us. We wonder why....hmmmm. Don't a lot of people wake up every morning and say "I'd like to watch two old people dancing to songs that had been forgotten for at least 30 years before I was born?"
We often will get in the hundreds of views for our dances, and have several with over a thousand views
But this song by Roy Orbison is special. It is a special song by the most awesome male singer ever. He had a voice with range and power, and wrote many good songs.
He also had a tragic life. Lost his wife when they were cycling and someone opened a car door. Lost two children in a house fire. And then lost his own life at age 52 to a heart attack. He had been a heavy smoker, and refused to give that up, probably costing him his life. Please, people if you are a smoker stop today! If you do, we'll dedicate a dance to you sometime in the next few weeks. Promise.
So, what we want to know is if these 100,000 views now make us now officially "influencers" (whatever those are) Does anybody know? And will we be invited to go on Joe Rogan's podcast (see! We're modern! We're not old! We even know Joe Rogan, although have never listened to him). And we know what podcasts are......we have listened to all of darling daughter Candice's podcasts, so have learned. Have we gone "viral?" Hope not...we've had all of our vaccinations.
So, here it is. Our video with 100,000 views. Please watch it, and we can start on the next 100,000!
