More Cowbell

“I’ve got a fever… and the only prescription is more cowbell!”

Now you may be wondering what does this expression “more cowbell” mean?

 After watching this spoof on Blue Oyster Cult and having a good laugh, I was thinking about  what it meant to have more cowbell.  I am sure it’s just a bunch of nonsense, but to me it means  more animation and expression! Extra quality that makes something better.

Dance Bands has a band called Drive. This group of entertainers has “cowbell” and is a whole lot of fun in the mix-up of what they do. Drive is a country cover band that sings great country from old classics to the new hip-hop/country style that’s sure to get people out on the dance floor.  If The Honky Tonk gets to be too much, Drive can flip a switch to mix in some rock, pop and top dance music while also teaching country line dance basics.

Drive is a high energy country party band. Often hired as a line dance band, Drive puts on quite a show! Professional line dance instruction, country crossover tunes from all the decades and some fantastic players and front people make this band a hit at any party. http://dancebands.com/drive

If you have never danced country, trust me, it’s not just for folks that like country and have natural dancing ability. I admit I used to hate twangy country music. Somewhere along the line in my growing–up years I learned some polka and waltz steps. In college I started going country dancing and had such a blast. The dancing changed my dislike for the music.  There’s something about wearing a western hat and boots with the jive of country dancing, to the country music with shuffling, kicking up your heels and stomping makes a person feel so on fire.  You’ll feel like you have more cowbell. Give it a whirl, it just might change you!

Ideas for a Country Line Dancing Party are simple and endless.

Requirements for Line Dancing:

-          Get on the floor and don’t be afraid to try

-          Have fun and just fake it till you make it

-          Wear comfortable leather or suede bottom shoes                                                                        (boots are not actually required, they just look good)

-          No hat actually requited either, but throw in a “yee-haw” every now and then to                              show you have “more cowbell” than an average cowpoke

-          Male or female (line dancing is not just for chicks)

Boot Stomping Fun
