CHOREOGRAPHERS NOTE:

I know I'm always raving on about country music, but I couldn't resist the urge to

write a few line dances to celebrate the new musical Mamma Mia, which opens in June

2001. Gee I enjoyed writing these dances! It brought back so many memories from the

past. Does music do that for you? I only have to hear something from the past and

immediately I am back there. Bill Haley puts me straight back into irridescent

coloured socks and rope petticoats - yuk, but the memory is nice. Those were the good

old days, yet I'm sure they are not the same good old days that I used to hear my Mum

'n Dad talk about!  Funny about that......  I wonder if the young 'uns of today will

ever have a 'good old days' that they will be able to remember with pleasure - hope

so. Enough raving on for this time....

See you on the floor sometime....  Jan
