DANCE NOTES:
The first 16 counts are a variation of the basic east coast swing pattern
After 3 patterns, there will be a 16 count instrumental. Thereafter, the two stomps on 15-16 will immediately precede the words "smack dab" on the chorus. You will "smack" your boot on the word smack and dig your heel on dab for the first words of each chorus after that
PERSONAL NOTE:
I was looking for a good country song that I could use to choreograph a dance for this event and I had just gotten the newest George Jones CD. He's about as country as you get! When I heard this fun song, I knew it was the one. Don't forget to listen to the words. :)
