Choreographers Note:

An early Dixie Chicks version of a song that I'm sure most people have heard in some

form, written by Ray Charles in the '50's, and recorded by many people since - other

versions may work, but I only have this one so I can't say for sure. I created the

dance for my Thursday night 'advanced' beginners and as there is nothing really

challenging and only few turns I think I have it right, as they did not have much

trouble with it.

The music is available on my Compilation No. 10 - I think the original CD, Little Ol'

Cowgirl, may be out of print.
