I searched but couldn't locate one. There seemed to be one website
that had a picture of a house that was mostly shrouded in the dark, and
wasn't labelled as being his, so I didn't direct to it.

Well the mazurka seems like a standad dance, but the discos seem more
in keeping with your current personality than the foxtrot.
