Signature Song: "Tumbleweed" by Coco Montoya. 124 bpm. CDs: Ya Think I'd Know Better and

on Swingin' The Blues Vol. 1. Or... "Tumbleweed" (same song) by The

Fantastic Shakers. CD: Shakin' The Shack. Both are equally good. Intro: There is

a long (72+ count) instrumental intro. Begin with the words. See below for pattern.

identical pattern to "Tumbleweed", so, see below for pattern.

CDs: It Would Be You, Toe The Line 4, Best Of Toe The Line.

PATTERN:Shorten the 3rd and 6th walls: dance counts 1-32 with a small revision for 31-32

(for 2 songs above)which keeps the dance oriented to front and back walls. Hint: At the beginning of

each short wall, if you listen for the word, "Baby", you will not need to count walls.

Country option with straight 48 counts: "If It Will It Will" by Hank Williams Jr. 128 bpm. CD: Pure Hank.

Teaching song:"Why Haven't I Heard From You" Reba McEntire. 114 bpm. CD Read My Mind.
