I expect you to be honest Donny.

As far as the tempo goes, Donny, your understanding of ballroom tempos must be different than mine. Fact of the matter is this tune was requested by a group of dancers from the Dayton Ballroom Association years ago at the exact tempo you hear on the recording. Every time we perform it the floor is packed. You also made mention of my tempo on Tennessee Waltz a few months ago, that it was too slow. It wasn't.

There are, I think regional differences in preferred dance tempos. The tempo of choice in NY metro may very likely be different than the one in Shreveport. Or the one in Pasadena or the one in Spider Breath, Utah.

Don't forget, Dayton is in the Midwest, so Country music here is huge and apparently these older ballroomers prefer an slower approach to tempos. I'm not playing for competitive ballroom dancers, who have their own set of tempos.

So, its not OBVIOUSLY too slow for anything. There's more than one right tempo for most dance styles...

BTW, Patty thought it sounded like a kazoo as well, lol...

Cheers,
