WHAT A DAY...

CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone (WM '71) (November 21st 2002) Fremantle, Australia
		email: williamsevone@yahoo.com.au
COUNT: 32
TYPE: 4 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Advanced Beginner
MUSIC: Daydream by Lovin' Spoonful-112 bpm ('Best Of' / 'Greatest Hits' / many compilations)

Choreographer's note: The 'Lovin Spoonful' were, in my opinion, the ultimate laid
back good time band - of any decade. They made songs for their generation and
spread sunshine with their music. Country-Folk-Jug Band-Pop, you name it they
played it, each befitting it's genre. My two favourite tunes are 'Younger
Generation' because it acts like a wake up call and 'Darling Be Home Soon' because
it is so beautiful, that simple. The dance, it's anti-clockwise for a start (which
is not all that common). Next, treat the dance like a walk in the oval (park) on a
warm summer's day. Gently brushing the blades of grass with your feet, watching the
birds dart from one tree to the next in playful mood. Got the picture ? - keep it
there whilst you dance.
