On reading the title I thought it was going to be a percussion paradise...and I was not far off the mark. Bill Haley & his Comets also comes to mind! Regards // paul

I put a romantic spin, a crazy spin and then a panic spin on this. I read it all the different ways. Wonderful fun. Ann

There was a time I felt it almost every day, but luckily it was more like shiver, oscillate and sway) Nicely penned, QtR. Wish you solid ground under your feet.

Nice use of the lyric line in this one, Raven... Of course, rock'n'roll is one thing, while earthquakes are quite another... :) gw

Are you in California! I felt the earth move back in 1980 near Eureka. 7.2 on the richter scale! It was the middle of the night. First earthquake for a Northeastern gal.
