I play "Got to Get You off My Mind" by Solomon Burke, and everyone has a go, just out of duty, even though only the best dancers would be able to make something of it, and nobody in the room could claim to be among the best dancers, or even the most average. When Laura hears the opening bars she spins around and grins and makes several thumbs-up sings, and I start to compile in my head a compilation tape for her, something that's full of stuff she's heard of, and full of stuff she'd play. Tonight, for the first time ever, I can sort of see how it's done. -Nick Hornby, High Fidelity.
