(i'll be back with more )

Hey BoDy*ShOt -- I love your song choice (Neon Moon) but I think the beat/tempo is better as a stationary cha-cha:

Brooks & Dunn -- Neon Moon




A couple 2-step favorites of mine are:



Fast tempo and happy 2-step:

Vince Gill -- Feels Like Love





Slow tempo and bittersweet 2-step:

Patty Loveless -- Last Thing On My Mind

Thanks! That's great!

Help a poor old woman and her failing memory : The other night (late, tired) I was listening to the country station while driving and there was a song I recognized (so it was probably from the 90's), female artist, somewhat melancholy tune, one word title that started with an O, and all I remember is trying to get Siri to recognize what I was saying as I tried to create a reminder to add it to my playlist and she really let me down. Anyone have any idea what it might have been?!?

If you can give me a line or two from the song. Or the refrain. Or at least what she was singing about. I can probably help.

DWM, do you have pandora radio?
If so, plug in some of the artists mentioned here, you'll find similar music.

Tequila Talkin....Lonestar

[Martina]

"Gringo Honeymoon" -- Robert Earl Keen

If I could remember that, then I could find it. I wrote to the Sirius Prime Country show and asked them to let me know what it was, since I know pretty much what time it was playing. And as soon as they tell me the name I'll probably be able to sing the whole song, but right now? My brain's giving me nothing.

I'm going to use this to remind myself of songs I want to include:

Shameless, Garth Brooks - great romantic song for a close, sultry dance.

[Duchess]

Brooks and Dunn...Boot Scootin Boogie
Deborah Allen......Rock Me..(she also has a remix that's faster if needed)
Dixie Chicks...Goodbye Earl

Hey DWM,

I haven't two-stepped in about 20 years but truly, little compares with how great it is to "drive" a girl around the dance floor on a warm summer night...

So, count me in if that's gonna happen down your way!
And you're right, there are tons of songs that lend themselves to a two-step. I think the Pandora idea is excellent; if you put in both pop and c/w but of the same tempo, you'll get back the same and that should broaden your play list.

Little Fish, join this meetup group to keep up with two-stepping opportunities down here: http://www.meetup.com/Gay-Women-Rehoboth/

There are apparently regular dances going on down here - one this Friday, though I'll be out of town. This may be the last one for a while because the venue they've been using is closing (Cloud 9), so they'll have to find a new location.

The lessons I'm going to be a part of are on Thursday nights (see the message boards), which I presume isn't an option for you, but hey, if it is, come on down!

Are you interested in west coast swing? Lessons in that the next two Saturdays, 11/3 and 11/10. I'm definitely staying in town for that - have wanted to learn that for a long time!!

I just checked and Woody's is still doing two-stepping on Fridays, though it looks like they're no long doing it on Sundays - when I was in Philly, I was frequently there twice a week with my boots on. If you haven't been 2-stepping in 20 years, I'm guessing that you haven't gone there but at least when I lived in Philly it was a great place to dance, plus the skill level of a lot of the guys there was just fantastic to watch.

I haven't two-stepped in forever (nobody knows how up here), but I think I had the most fun with "Forever and Ever, Amen" by Randy Travis - great spinning on the turns -
