Music Notes:
	When using Don Williams, you end with R crossed (34).  Hold position.  
	For Rick Tippe, follow music slowing at end on 24-30, ending with L crossed (31).  
	Hold position. 
Dance Notes:	
	Turns on 1-6 and 13-18 are reverse turns turning back first.  
	There is also a double left lead on 37-42. 
	This is a smooth flowing waltz.  It is especially nice for waltzes around this tempo.
	On the sweep (26-27) take your time and make it a graceful flowing move.
