Hi everyone
I guy by the name of Christopher Tompson wrote to me before Christmas saying he
had written a country song and would I write a dance to the song.
It's a lovely country song so have done just that!
It is a beginner/improver dance - it does have two tags which are danced twice
during the dance, but there are REALLY VERY EASY to hear and and do!! So please
don't be put off by the script! If he writes any others, he has promised to
phase the song so that no tags are required!!!!
So, below is the script - now for where you can get the music - you can get the
music from 3 sources:
1. FREE download from our site - on the home page, scroll down to the script
and you'll see the download there (he has given us permission to put it on our
site for you)
2. iTunes - available at 79p
3. Directly from Christopher by emailing him at c.tompson@...
