I haven't got a clue what this song is about but crikey the beat is good!

The Mavericks are always fabulous and as you know, I'm an avid fan.

The dance is bright and breezey and light and easy.

Everyone will be able to manage this  one - and it's a feel good dance too!

Hope you enjoy it

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