Preview CJ Mixer
CJ Mixer Calvin Campbell CJ Mixer has a story behind the dance. In the 1970s, Grenn Records was considering dropping some music from their catalogue. Judy and I thought one tune they had called “Everybody Loves a Lover” was very good music and we asked Grenn to keep it in stock. They told us to invent a mixer for the music and they would agree to produce it as a mixer dance. What we did was to make a variation of an old mixer named GKW mixer. Grenn was happy with that and then asked us what to name it. We shrugged and said, “How about CJ Mixer”. (By the way, GKW means God Knows What and has different music.) The dance proved to be very popular because of the music and the fact that most of the dancers already knew GKW Mixer. In Europe, the teachers changed the name to “Swish” for some reason. So, the dance, under different names, to “Everybody Loves a Lover” has been danced all over the world. I hope you enjoy it. The present recording was licensed to the Lloyd Shaw Foundation under CJ Mixer. Music “Everybody Loves a Lover” (Click Here) Cue Sheet (Click Here) Video (Click Here) for teach by Judy Campbell.
