Thank you for all your suggestions over the past few days!
Tonight is the Karen Acres Sock Hop at my kids’ school…and yes, I did wrestle with the concept of “should I play some 50s-style sock hop songs?” I came back with a “no”…but will do requests if asked 🙂
Here’s my playlist…not in any particular order…I’ll let the dance floor pace out the playlist.

NOTE: My son requested “Mind Your Manners” by Pearl Jam…I told him that I was incredibly proud of him and his music selection, but that wouldn’t be the best dance song…he asked if we could listen to it on the way to and from the dance in the car.
Easy compromise.
