Jim Reeves sings sweet little songs and although he has been in heaven for

a long time many ,many people remain devoted fans... including me.

This is an easy waltz but I hope it still feels interesting,

that's what I set out to achieve anyhow.

I wrote this dance for "Rosie" from Howard who has been going through an

unsettled time in her life. She has found some happiness at last and

we all wish her good luck with her new man Charlie.

Please enjoy Rosie's Waltz.

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