Dancehall (23/12/02)
topic: Lonesome Times
I just curated the YT playlist and listened to the whole thing. It's very good, once again.
I did my DEI requirements, making sure we had at least one Canadian, woman, person of color. For the last, I found Al Green's Tired of Being Alone; for the first two, Alyssa Reid's "Alone Again" (which uses/samples Heart's "Alone").
The sequence is basically chronological (which usually works well), with 2 exceptions. For the opening, I used the Backstreet Boys' "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely" which MD contributed and I didn't just want to bury - here it makes a good intro,
because showing that's exactly what the songs on this Dancehall do. And to do that I moved the earlier opener, Hank Williams's "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," to the end where it works even better to close things off.
At 100 minutes, there's still a bit of room if there's anything important we've overlooked, but I'd call it complete at this point.
Here's the playlist to have a look and/or a listen:
