Here's how. I was at a fundraising dinner last week, courtesy of my good friend Clem, and after an excellent meal, the dance began. The DJ was trying to reach the demographic. He really was. He played "Footloose." After a few more similar attempts to get people out on the floor, I thought I'd help him out.
ME: Perhaps people would dance if you played a waltz.
HIM: (reaching for his computer) Yeah, cool. Do you know a title?
ME: (pause) The Blue Danube Waltz.
HIM: Dan who?
ME: Danube. Like the river.
HIM: Oh, yeah, the river. (He nods and turns back to the computer screen, diligently searching.)
By the time we left, it still hadn't played....
