This is a good little song, fun to listen to... well, I think so anyhow.

It's true that the drinking bone is connected to the party bone  -  it must be

because you don't see many parties that are dry do you?   Maybe we should go one step further and say that the party bone is connected to the drinking bone and the drinking bone is connected to the brawl bone and the brawl bone is

connected to the accident bone ....oh you could go on and on and on....

I have written 2 dances to this tune, one is a beginner level called Connections and this intermediate level for those folk who want something a bit more

demanding.  Our classes like the song so much that they have been

willing to do the beginner dance for months now. I find that inspiring!

Hope you also find something in it and enjoy the dances.

See you on the floor sometime....  Jan
