MOUNTAIN MAN CHOREOGRAPHER: Gloria Johnson COUNT: 64 TYPE: 2 Wall Line Dance RATING: Intermediate MUSIC: Wolverton Mountain by Great Plains-167bpm SPECIAL NOTE: Dusty has always loved this song from his youth when Claude King had it on the charts so many years ago. Gloria liked the music when she heard the new version from Great Plains. However the kicker was that the song was written by Claude King and Merle Kilgore (whose uncle was the real-life Clifton Clowers), and Merle Kilgore is a good friend to Dusty and Gloria. So this dance is dedicated to Merle Kilgore and his family including the late Uncle Clifton who lived to the age of 102.
