Billy Ray Cyrus Sees Stars
If there's a Renaissance man in these opening years of the 21st century, Billy Ray Cyrus has got to be it. In addition to his award-winning career as a country music artist, he costars with his daughter, Miley, on Disney Channel's series "Hannah Montana" -- and now he's shown America his dancing chops as well, with a stint on ABC TV's "Dancing with the Stars."
Billy Ray's "Dancing" run is over, but there's still plenty in his life to keep him on his toes. He and Miley are in the midst of shooting a new season of "Hannah," and they both have new albums hitting the store shelves. Billy Ray's latest endeavor is entitled "Home at Last" -- it's a savory mix of original songs and favorite standards like the lovely "Brown-Eyed Girl."
One track particularly close to Billy Ray's heart is "Ready, Set, Don't Go," a paean to his daughter. He explains that it's "a song that I wrote about Miley and the family as they drove out of our Tennessee home, moving to California to begin the series 'Hannah Montana.'"

YOUR QUESTION
When I was in high school around 1957 or 1958, we would dress up and go to Disneyland on weekends to dance to great band music. I can't remember where the dances took place. Can you help with details?

DAVE'S ANSWER
In 1957, Disneyland began sponsoring Date Nites on Friday and Saturday nights during the summer and fall, with over 300,000 teens participating in the dancing at the Golden Horseshoe, Plaza Gardens, and the Yacht Club in Tomorrowland until midnight. Teens danced to Disneyland's own Dance Band, as well as a 5-man combo, and guest groups. Date Nites were expanded to every night of the week during the summer of 1958.
