Choreographer's note:- I bought this album when it first came out in 1990 - and it still
sounds as fresh now as it did then. It's strange (to me at any rate) that I have never
choreographed a dance using a track from this album as a catalyst (though I had used the
track 'Guardian Angel' as an alternative for the dance 'Wings Of Angels') until now.
There I was, in the family room playing the album, just sitting there - frustrated...
well, if you must know I was trying to do the 'My Dixie Darlin' (so help me, I will master
that dance one day)..I digress. Then it came to me..and the steps just flowed. For all these
years I have been listening to the album, not being able to choreograph a single step,
then....Isn't life really strange sometimes.
