I know this song has been around for yonks and every year

at Tamworth it warms my heart all over again and I vow to

write a dance, but until now, I have never gotten around to it.

Now that it's finally written I hope that you will enjoy it.

If not, then just sit down and sing along to the song… that

will make you feel good anyhow…. especially if you like country music!

See you on the floor sometime…..  Jan
