(23,457 posts)It was, I believe, the last musical group that caught her fancy before she passed on in 1981, at 92.
I was only 5 when she passed on - but she was a saint (unlike my dear grandmother, sadly, who had serious control issues).
Her favorite ABBA tune was Chiquitita.

(23,457 posts)I was just telling CT Yankee how much my great-grandmother enjoyed ABBA - the last musical group she really enjoyed before she passed on in '81.
The '70s and '80s had so much great radio music. One after another.
Now, of course, it's mostly syncopated garbage - although I have heard some really nice retro pieces over the last 10 years or so.

(1,642 posts)I have always wondered why a guy that can't dance for shit, wants to build a ballroom?
It's apparently all about the attention of destroying the "Peoples room". It's all about him!!!
That's pretty sick if ya ask me.
2028. After we win, it's the first thing that has to go. We the people will not stand for this.

Any questions?

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
