    I vividly remember dancing to this song when I was 20 at the Edge in Palo Alto California so awesome. DJ’s from Live 105 (105.3 in SF) Steve Masters, Big Rick Stewart did live broadcasts on Friday and Saturday night from the Edge was so much fun met my very first girlfriend there as she waited to check her coat into the coat check and I asked her to dance. Fantastic memories.
