I loved ONJ as a kid. Our basement was finished and had two poles(?) from floor to ceiling. I used to play Hopelessly Devoted to You on my record player and pretend I was her. Singing my little heart out as I held onto the pole like she did in Grease.

Well, who didn't do Grease? My sister and I totally wore out the album, we used to do little 'shows' in our backyard. The only song I was allowed to participate in were the Danny songs, but in truth I wanted to sing Hopelessly Devoted To You or Sandy's part in You're The One That I Want. We even made fake cigarettes to do the scene where she gets dressed up as the biker chick, LOL.
I had a portable phonograph, the kind that was like a suitcase and you could carry. Grease and the Saturday Night Fever album got much airplay.

Did you ever do backyard shows? Here's a controversial one we did: Donna Summer's famous 'Bad Girls' album. Picture THAT, a bunch of 9 year olds pretending to be hookers. We even made a fake streetlight for one of the girls to pose under, swinging her purse waiting for a John, LOL!!!!!

Girl, please. I was forever forcing my parents to watch my routines. I had my own show, aptly named "The Janet ___ Show." Starring...me. My younger brother was my sidekick. I was very bossy and made him do whatever I thought was necessary for the show.

I love your hooker story. Do you think this is all because of where we grew up? Are there others like us? lol

Me, all I know is that that wasn't the end - - -
It was just the beginning.

Oh, and we did Saturday Night Fever too! I forgot that. And Star Wars, and I think we did a whole 'Solid Gold' singing Andy Gibb, Debbie Boone and Air Supply, including Solid Gold dancers.

Maybe it's a Long Island thing, heehee. And no small wonder I turned out to be my mother's only gay son. My two brothers were busy playing street hockey and stickball. LOL
