Madmandy Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 (edited) Hi Guys As a lady dancer I thought that backdrops and the like are always done in the "breaks "of the record These day folks seem to drop em in anywhere they like ...I thought it was how each individual interprets the music and the specific tune Therefore adds the backdrops spins etc in any record where theres a break Mand Edited May 15, 2009 by Madmandy

Guest Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 (edited) I can Drop Back but not Back Drop chris The first time I experienced the full spectacle / took notice of back dropping , was when a couple of chaps at Leed Central in 1968 , danced to this outing from Mitch Ryder ....... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Tbxgw6OfpA I cannot bring to mind , if I had seen anyone doing the said gymnastics before that time ......

Its only certain parts of the record some people dont listen to the music.
Jez Jones Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Herb Johnson and the impacts--I'm so glad Charles Wright--keep saying If you could find the sq yardage in Tunstall these were backdropping material ..........and a couple of instrumentals that did it Sounds of laine and wait for it..............................
