Or: “I Won’t Back Down” – Jason Owen Approx 2.57 mins
Count In: 16 counts from start of track. Approx 114 bpm
Restart: There is 1 restart during the 1st wall after 32 counts – restart facing 3.00
Notes: In memory of the victims of the Las Vegas tragedy October 1st 2017.
Also remembering the great Tom Petty RIP October 2nd 2017.
Jason Aldean performed this song on ‘Saturday Night Live’ following the shooting at his concert in Las Vegas on October 1st 2017.
Never forget the innocent lives that were taken away so soon. Never forget that United We Stand.
The artist Tom Petty sadly passed away the next day and the tribute that Jason Aldean performed inspired me to write a dance to the same song – special thanks to one of my closest friends Donna Stretton for bringing it to my attention.
