BEGIN AGAIN!!!

 

This dance was choreographed to a song by Redfern and Crookes, from England. The music can be obtained from Michael Dark of Honky Tonk Jukebox, www.linedance.co.uk. In a phone conversation with Michael we talked about titles for the dance. I mentioned the

title of the song,“One More Broken Hearted Man”, and Michael’s response, with a bit of a laugh, was “Join The Queue”  (good old British humor).  So, thanks for the title Michael!! Call me if you don’t get it, British humor takes some getting use to (grins).
