I have surprised myself by writing to this music because it is not my usual style, but the words
to the song seemed so right to celebrate the wedding and future happiness of Keith and Nicole
that I couldn't resist writing a dance for the occasion. It does get a bit raucous and almost
more than I can stand in parts, but I know that's my age telling on me!

The dance is easy once you master the start and the ending.......You old Rock 'n rollers will
have no problem with it at all! Hope you enjoy some aspect of the song and dance...and
preferably ALL of it!

See you on the floor sometime.... Jan
