CHOREOGRAPHERS NOTE: I like the traditional country sound of this song as well as the

catchy rhythm, and as my last dance was to a non country song I thought this might

redeem me slightly in the eyes of my fellow country traditionalists!   

Ricky Van Shelton is one of my favourites from when I first started to dance to

country music and there were far fewer country artists around - now I have finally

choreographed a dance to his music I think I have just about covered them all. I think

this dance is 'reasonably easy' - I tried to keep the turns to a minimum so that most

should be able to cope with it - the CD by the way, is titled "Fried Green Tomatoes"

and in my opinion is one of those rare CDs that does not have a bad track on it.

Unfortunately because of copyR laws, I am unable to include the suggested song on my

compilation CD No3, but have used 'What A Way To Live' by Mark Chesnutt as an

alternative - it has a similar feel and tempo (ignore the phrasing), although I must

admit I do prefer the original.
