RESTART DANCE FROM BEGINNING

Although this is a slow song it still has a good compulsive beat which

is nice to dance to.  The dance itself is easy but hopefully still interesting.

I couldn't find a country singer for this song but Barry Manilow isn't too

far away and in fact, if you listen to some of those country rock songs you

would nearly have to classify Barry Manilow as traditional country, by

comparison.  Things have certainly changed haven't they.

They say a change is as good as a holiday,  hmmmmm not sure about that!

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