Music Notes:
When using Don Williams, you end with Right crossed (34). Hold position.
For Rick Tippe, follow music slowing at end on 24-30,
ending with Left crossed (31). Hold position.

Dance Notes:
Turns on 1-6 and 13-18 are reverse turns turning back first.
There is also a double left lead on 37-42.
This is a smooth flowing waltz.
It is especially nice for waltzes around this tempo.
On the sweep (26-27) take your time and make it a graceful move.
