I wrote this dance for Annie, who is a big John Denver fan.
It's not hard nd I hope you enjoy it.. I guess while ever we
continue to appreciate his music, John Denver will never be dead.
He certainly had a voice that was 'his'..... you could never mistake
him for anyone else and nobody has ever really been able to
copy him, although a guy called Steven Cheyney has given it
his best shot. Annie tells me that Mark Tempeny also has a
similar sound...and they are both Aussies!
That's enough yap for now!
See you on the floor sometime......... Jan
