MUSIC: “Land Of The Living" by Pam Tillis
NOTE: This dance is called "Sunflowers" simply because at one time Pam Tillis lived in San Fransisco, wrote music with the Ramsey Lewis Trio and liked herbs and sunflower seeds. Sometime after Pam moved back to Nashville, her father (Grand Ole Opry member Mel Tillis) had some sunflower seeds laid out to dry in preparation for Spring planting. They disappeared, and Mel though Pam ate them. She swears she didn't.
