This dance is dedicated to everyone who can no longer enjoy the dancing, friendships and camaraderie found in the wonderful world of line dancing because of the dreadful Coronavirus outbreak. I know the words of this beautiful song by Larry Alderman reflect the sadness and feelings in our circle of line dance friends.
Thanks to Jan Brookfield for introducing me to the music of Larry Alderman.
