Tag

1-3 Stride-step forward R, slide L foot beside R, step L foot down

* There is one restart and one tag, both easy to hear I think and both facing front.

The restart happens after the 2nd complete wall where you start facing front and dance

up until count 27, but this time stepping onto L foot for count 27 - you start again

facing front.

After 2 more complete walls again facing front, add the tag - easy!

Another pretty song and another damn waltz line dance (like we need more!) - just

can't help myself when I hear a pretty waltz, I just gotta' get moving! - call me a

waltzing fool!!!

Anyway pretty sure this will be my last so hope you enjoy it. It's from a CD titled

After All.
