I’ve been listening a whole lot to The Good Feeling Music of Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele lately. It’s almost spring, my heart is full, life is easy … and I’m feeling good.
One of my favorite songs on the album is “You Can’t Force a Dance Party,” which tells the story of a girl from New York who comes to visit a man in Mississippi. He throws her a dance party, but no one’s really feeling it. “You can’t force a dance party,” he tells her, “but for you I’ll try.”
I couldn’t find a video of “You Can’t Force a Dance Party,” but while I was looking, I found another Dent May video that fits the bill. It features a charming dance party that does not look as thought it has been forced in any way.
It’s spring. Love, and the sweet strains of a ukulele, are in the air.
