Choreographer's Note: This has been another one of those dances which
--------------------  has been a long time coming. The music is on my
compilation No.5 but I didn't get around to writing the dance until
January 2001. I thought it would be hard to write because the music was
so badly phrased, but it proved to be easier than I had envisaged and
I enjoyed doing it. It could have done with a few tags here and there,
but it didn't seem too bad without them - so I left them out - just so
I wouldn't have to listen to the moans and groans that go hand in hand
with tags! Hope you will enjoy the dance and I know you will love
the music because it is a beautiful song and Jann Browne does it full
justice.
