Note: I had a new dancer, Rose, in my beginner class on June 25th and in an attempt to remember her name, my regular dancers and I were naming songs that had “rose” in their title.
The last one named was “Ramblin’ Rose.” I have always loved this song so I checked “Kickit” and “CopperKnob” under Charlie Pride and Nat King Cole to see if a dance was published and none was.
The Nat King Cole version was only 98 bpm which is too slow. Also, it was easy to hear the count in the Charlie Pride version which makes it a better song for beginners.
