While Peter was staying with us in May '99 we played him the T Graham Brown track, and we all agreed that it was a great song & just begging to have a dance written for it. The only obstacle was the phrasing, the verses are 36 counts, the choruses 40. After playing around with it we decided to keep the phrasing, which meant that we had to play around with 4 counts, hence the title of the dance 4-Play. And, the track just happened to be cut 4 on CDX volume 206, so when we wanted to have it replayed we'd say "4 - Play!"
