SOUTHERN COMFORT

CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone (WM '71) (August 28th 2002) Fremantle, Australia
		email: williamsevone@yahoo.com.au
COUNT: 32
TYPE: 4 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Advanced Beginner
MUSIC: Move Over by Janis Joplin & The Full Tilt Boogie Band-130 bpm ('Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits')

Choreographer's note: What makes a choreographer pick out a certain piece of music
with which to base a dance on? In my case it's like the words in the Bob Dylan
song..'Blowing In The Wind'. The memories connected with this song go back a long,
long way. My Brother got me into people like Janis Joplin, Asleep At The Wheel,
Georgie Fame and such-like during the '60s and '70s - I got him into Beethoven,
Wagner, Linda Ronstadt and Jimi Hendrix. One of Janis Joplin's little quirks was to
always have a bottle of 'Southern Comfort' on stage with her - my liking for the
same drink is again something I have to thank my Brother for. So when I do take 'a
sip of Comfort' I can close my eyes and allow myself the luxury of 'hearing' Janis
sing...and 'seeing' my Brother smile.
