Saterdag Sokkie jol

Long long ago, in another world and another time, Saturday nights were about Sokkie jol. 'Sokkie' meaning 'sock' and 'jol' meaning 'party'. It was a time when all the dining room tables would be cleared in the boarding school. We'd go downstairs in our frippery (frippery usually involving jeans, colourful bangles and big hair - it was the 80's after all!) and socks... I used to think the dance was planned for the sole purpose of polishing the floors, but oh, what fun! Gran used to tell us how they'd have floors of peach pits (no, I'm not going to tell you what the bonding agent was) which would get polished up to a high shine by dancers.

So don your socks and polish those floors. The music here is South African. Some new, that I've just discovered and some old.

Erm... and a 'just because' song... because I couldn't resist ; )




Any requests for the DJ? The floor is open.
