PREPARED BY : B. Craig Johnson (aka: "Dusty Miller") for Country Time Dance Lines
MUSIC:  "Loosen Up My Strings" (Dance Mix) by Clint Black
"When the Wrong One Loves You Right" by Wade Hayes
NOTE: This dance was originally written for the song "When The Wrong One Loves You Right" by Wade Hayes in March of 1998. Gloria tested the dance at JR's Country Club and found her dancers had trouble with it, so she shelved the dance. When she heard Clint Black's self-produced dance mix for "Loosen Up My Strings", she resurrected the dance, rewrote it slightly to fit the new music and tried again. This time her dancers liked it.
REVISED:  (2/16/99) to clarify steps 25-32 and add easy variation
