As is with Terry, this is also my first collaboration on a dance. It was 75% completed using e.mail, another first for me as well, with the final touches added during my tour in Australia this past August ‘98. For the suggested song, start after the spoken intro as Neal sings “Its Just Your Basic Goodbye” between “Good” & “ bye”(you can also count 8 counts as the spoken intro ends). As you can see the written name has “...” in front of the words. This denotes the original name being shortened.
