This is another easy little dance and you can take

the turns out of the final shuffles if you so wish.

It's an old Buddy Holly song which is sung by a couple  of unknowns  - well to me anyhow.

Los Lobos and  Marshall Crenshaw, has anybody ever heard of them???

They do a good job of it too, although the song does  still have that old fashioned nasally

twang to it. I quite like that sound because it reminds me of  my hay day when

Buddy Holly was all the rage. At the time, his death was a major blow to me, I just

couldn't believe  it could happen to someone like him, and  really, nobody has  ever

taken his place.  It's the same with Elvis. Their voices are  so distinctive and even though

they have been  gone for  many years now they are both still incredibly well known. 

Not many people achieve that sort of popularity and  distinctive notoriety do they…… but

many do try.

Hope you enjoy this little dance. Have a bit of fun with it

and sing  Doot Doot Doo at the appropriate time!

See you on the floor sometime……  Jan
