This little song from the past only goes for 2 minutes and

I don't know about you, but I like it and always play it at least twice. 

Many people have sung it . but most of all I remember my Dad singing it to

my Mum when I was just a young 'un.   He's gone now but that memory

is forever in my mind.......... and I guess that's why I like the song.

I was lucky to have parents who both loved music because I was exposed to it right 

from my early years and regardles of what else I may h ave done in my life, that

beginning set me on the path that  led me to where I am today - and you know what,

I wouldn't change it for anything.  Line dancing is a fabulous activity and writing

dances gives me a  sense of satisfaction that I never got from anything else...... not even 

my 4 certificates in nursing.

Bill Bader tells me that LineDancer Magazine named me as the most

prolific choreographer in the world - not sure if that is good or bad, but

one thing I do know - while ever I keep breathing I will probably keep on

writing because those two activities seem to go  hand in hand for me.

  This dance is easy and everyone should manage it--no worries!. 

Hope you enjoy "Have You Been Told"      Oh, and I hope you HAVE!  (-:

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