Not sure about cousins but weird is probably correct.
I think my mother was secretly envious of Norma Zimmer.
My mom was only 17 when she had me and she loved to dance and loved dance music so American Bandstand was the way to go. **It's got a good beat and you can dance to it.** That's surely where I get my love for music of the 60s from.
-an aside - when she and dad started dating he didn't dance. She told him she wouldn't date him if he didn't dance. He learned. In later years I cocktail waitressed at a place that used to have occasional dances and saw them dancing...they were really good.
I'm your huckleberry.
