With a party that's much more sophisticated than the scenes depicted in the show, this season's party started with a nod to the grown folks in the cast. Later there were sounds for the new youthful cast members that Season 4 focused on.One of my strategies when playing is to get everyone in the room involved by touching them musically. Some think, reasonably so, that the older generation is irrelevant in a party scene...play that new stuff and the geezers just gotta deal (or are invisible). It's hard for me not to see people that I admire. If you've been here longer than me and you have some exceptional accomplishments - I love you and you matter! At some point at everything I do, there's a 'here's to you' moment for my living legends in the house.
