We were forbidden to wear street shoes in the gymnasium so sock-hops were in vogue back in the day. Wonderful memories.

Nicely done - definitely has an old-school vibe to it, which is never a bad thing by me. Love the groove here and thought the mix was concise and professional.

Thanks for sharing smile

Seems like fun though the bottom end is a bit thin.
Who or what does what?

Don, that is some good ole "sock hop" rock and roll with a little more modern twist on the solo synth instrument part! Sounds like you had fun putting this one together! Thanks, Torrey

Hey Don!

When I read the title, I laughed... what a GREAT name smile "Sue's Sock Hop" is such an incredibly visual group of three words.

As your sprightly composition unfolded, in my head, I could so clearly see Sue (a brunette, by the way) jumping up and down and dancing all over the place. That's how powerful your title was.

I was hooked!

Excellent listening,
Noel

Sue now lives in Arizona and keeps in touch by email and Facebook. She keeps me well-stocked with peanut butter fudge.

I didn't realize that I had painted such a clear word-picture of Sue but you described her perfectly. She was a cheerleader and her dad owned the local movie theater.
