Will this be the final Online Dance Party? Who’s to say? Me, I suppose, though truthfully it will be my audience. The shelter-in-place orders are gradually easing up, with more reductions coming on Monday. Will people still want to gather around a computer or television screen on Friday night for their DJ entertainment, or will they want to venture back outside and seek out a night club proper? While that decision is being made, here are the songs I spun at last night’s event, which was loosely themed “Stranger Things,” since it was the eleventh online party I’ve hosted.
