    Retro Guy is working to fix the glitch otherwise I am quite sure...!

    Yes, I'm seeing it. I'm also now seeing your posts in the Dancehall, so I think the problem is fixed. In fairness, I may have just missed them, so he could have fixed it already. I'll be keeping a close eye on this week's Dancehall, to see if there are
    any problems.

    Do I have the topic for this week of Dancehall...?

    Yes, you do.

    If so I pick "fusion" the mix of poetry and music as an art form..!

    So it is. But what does it mean? We did a "Poets and Poetry" Dancehall once, and I don't want to repeat those songs. I'm imagining songs that are based on poems or use poems (even if just one line, provided they use the poem's idea). It can include
    musical settings of poems, and at the other extreme spoken-word poems. It can also include poets performing their poems as songs; iN fact, this is what I'll open it with here and on facebook:

    Leonard Cohen, Suzanne

    (We really should include Hallelujah, too, but I'd say we should use someone else's version. In fact, we could use a lot of Cohen covers.)

    Hope you can see my posts on the Dancehall??

    I've seen just the one for this week: When I'm Sixty-four.
