All songs start on vocals except 'If I'd Never Loved You'

Choreographer's note: This is the fourth (and final) dance of mine with
music taken from the album. For nearly three months I have been trying to
work out the best way to approach this dance and the rather awkward
restarts until in the end I decided to leave it as a 32 counter (it still
ends smack on the button anyway). Who knows, six months down the line I
could be kicking myself for not including the restarts. As you can see I
have departed from my usual format of 'header' and included a list of
'alternative' music. All the chosen pieces are of 32 counts and each of
them hold a very special memory for me.
Even though my 'introduction' to country music started in the early
1960's it wasn't until 1968 that I realised the full emotional effect by
association that a song (any song) could have on anyone. It was in that
year that my Uncle died on a lonely stretch of dust road just outside of
Fremantle. My Mother, having loved the voice and songs of Patsy Cline
since the late 1950's would quite often, from the day her Brother died,
sing 'Just out of reach' ..and more often than not, never get to the end
of the song before tears started to roll down her cheeks. This continued
till the day she too passed away. The vision may get blurred...but the
memory remains clear.
