Rosie gave me this music  and requested the dance -- thanks for that.   The song is in fast

waltz timing, but I have chosen NOT to do a waltz.  It's definitely not an easy dance,

thanks to the timing of the song.   Hope it appeals to those dancers who like this level of

dance

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