This is a terrific song and of course, Raul Malo (The Mavericks lead singer) and Trisha Yearwood do it full justice. I love the sound of The Mavericks, they make the hair stand up on the back of my neck! …. So do spooky movies but I don’t know what the two have in common! (-:
Anyhow, about the dance - it’s intermediate level, but not toooo hard.
If you want to split the floor with Lovestruck Cha Cha, this might the dance for you.
See you on the floor sometime…. Jan
