I’ve loved this song forever it seems…. And finally I have written to it.
I know that the video will never be seen on youtube due to copyright, and
that’s a shame, but we have no control over that unfortunately.
 
I wrote this dance for my Geelong workshop and although it is not my usual
choice of music, I bet there are a lot of people out there who love Neil Diamond songs.
Hope so anyhow.
The dance seems fast to me… but maybe it would not have WHEN I WAS YOUNG. (smile)
See you on the floor sometime.... Jan
