You really DO have to ham it up in this dance. 

I wrote it for the dancers from Hervey Bay who frequent the Boat Club to

dance to Buddy's music....and I know that THEY play up something fierce!

Buddy is the resident singer there and among other songs, he always features Delilah in his repertoire. They get a lot of pleasure out of this waltz - and I hope that YOU do too.

For those of you who don 't know where Hervey Bay is, it is in Qld, Australia and the

climate is almost perfect most of the year - the temperature rarely goes over 29 and if it gets cool in the winter months it always warms up by mid morning.

It s adjacent fo Faser Island which is the largest sand island in the world and is heritage listed. The whales come into Hervey Bay to have their calves between August and

November each year and it's agreat time to go whale watching.

Hervey Bay is a lovely place to live and a great place to visit.  If you are visiting this area give us a ring and we will direct you to the best line dancing venues!

See you on the floor sometime...... Jan
