In the hall at the back of the church we used to have a rock and roll night. I remember a guy by the name of Pete I think it was who taught us “the Madison”. Must have been the first line dance ever. I had a crush on so many of the boys but was shy. Of course people find it hard to believe now that I was ever shy:):). I think I looked really common, lots of thick black eye make-up, pan stick all over the face, white lips and back combed hair. What a sight. Must have been around 13/14 yrs old.
