MUSIC: Honky Tonk Dancing Machine by Tracy Byrd-146 BPM

NOTE: Start this dance when the vocal starts, 16 beats after the drummer kicks in.
This dance is the original dance which MCA Records in Nashville was going to use to support the
single release of "Honky Tonk Dancing Machine". On September 13, 1995, Steve Sheppard of MCA
Records notified Gloria that they were going to use her dance instead of another one submitted
by Sue Lipscomb who had done Watermelon Crawl and J-Walk for Tracy Byrd. Needless to say, Gloria
was walking on air! From September until April, Gloria waited for the release of the song.
However, that was not the way the story ends. In April, 1996, we were informed that the label
had now dropped plans to release "Honky Tonk Dancin' Machine" as a single and released their
hold on the dance. Such are the ways of the music industry.
