The “Disco Doc”

It’s definitely not cool to say, but man, I dig disco music.

I was checking my search term logs, and found that people actually make it to my site by searching for “disco dancing.” This is no doubt due to the disco instructional video that I linked to a while back.

I was feeling curious, so I searched for the same terms on google, and what I found about the “Disco Doc” is pretty unbelievable. Check this out – an Asian-American dentist, Dr. Rodney Chang, converts his dental office into a disco studio in 1979, gets invited to national TV shows, and in 2002, at age 56, is still dancing! You really have to check this out.

Not only that, in the mid-1980′s, he became Pygoya, the Cyberartist! The link takes you to his VRML Web Virtual Art Museum. No joke. It has background music and flaming logos, so if you’re a web designer, take it with a grain of salt.

This is just so amazing, I recommend you check it out for yourself. And if you think i’m just poking fun at him for his web design, i’m not. This is one prolific and accomplished guy of our era, and i’ve never heard of him. Imagine being a dentist, disco star, and accomplished artist in one lifetime. No matter what your websites look like, that’s a heck of a lot.

Hats off, Disco Doc. I salute you.

One thought on “The “Disco Doc”

  1. Koodoos for the comments. Sadly, I “lost that loving feeling” for disco dancing on November 26th, my “Last Dance” at Rumors Discotheque, at my 60th birthday party. But hanging in there, ran 20 miles yesterday in preparation for the Las Vegas Marathon on December 10th. It’ll be my 19th. After next year’s 20th, I retire from that activity too. Latest effort for a fun filled life: http://www.lastplace.com/RoswellEncounterGallery/index.htm May the Force be with yah! Aloha, Dr. Rodney Chang (Yeah, Asian American, but that’s the way I came out)
