DJ Casper

I had every intention of creating my themed photo today with a song or album that had some meaning to me, perhaps a Paul Simon or Joni Mitchell number, or one of hundreds of great songs I have enjoyed over the years. Having no specific ideas, I went up to London, hoping that some photo might bring a song to mind. Of course, this would be a song that I knew, and probably loved as well.

But this was not to be.

Arriving in Trafalgar Square, I heard some dance music going on, and it was pretty easy to track these lively performers down, who were in fact being filmed by the BBC. It turns out that I was witnessing DJ Casper and his dancing troupe performing the “Cha Cha Slide”, currently no.5 in the UK singles charts, and this video shoot is due to be broadcast on next week’s
Top of the Pops. This programme has now been going for 40 years and I even remember the very first episode, the opening act being the Rolling Stones!

Today’s photo features one of his dancers, and you can see another photo of her here, and one of DJ Casper himself on his mobile phone, in between signing autographs for his adoring teen and sub-teen fans!
