* On the 5th repetition the music slows & almost pauses as Neal sings "Darlin

completely", finish the pattern at count 36 & hold briefly until the music continues

& restart the dance from count 1.


As in a normal waltz pattern, make the first step of each 3 counts

a long or stride step. The dance will feel best if 'stepped out'.


Choreographers Note; This is the third dance that I have done in conjunction with

another choreographer whose skills I admire, and

so far the experience has been very satisfying (and so far successful), I still have

a few talented people on the list to get to, so stay tuned!
