Square Dance Junkie

Original title: Square Dance Junkee

Music and lyrics by Rhoda Daniel, © 1992

I love to dance and sing,
Do-si-do and weave the ring.
I love the sexy highland fling,
And the times we whirl and swing,
Doin' our square dance thing.

Chorus:
I'm a square dance junkee!
I love dancin' ev'ry where.
I'm a square dance junkee!
When I dance I ain't got a care.
I make friends in every square.

Allemand left and spin the top,
Promenade and don't you stop,
Ferris wheel - coordinate,
Cloverleaf and separate,
Hurry and don't be late.

(Chorus)

Roll away with a half sashay,
Calls are ordered in a thousand ways,
Double star through and horseshoe turn,
Chain across and courtesy turn,
So many new calls to learn.

(Chorus)

Play MP3
Go to There's a Train a Comin'
Go to Bible in Song for Children
Go to Public School Prayer

Inspiration

Square Dance Junkee I wrote hoping it would inspire youth and young adults to get involved with Square Dancing, because it is the one dance born in America! And it is SO MUCH FUN! How else can you get aerobic exercise that is a totally social affair wherein you get to meet lots of other neat folks? It's also the one kind of dancing (besides ballet or skating) that's done in a healthy and safe environment all the time.

Acknowldgements

I want to thank both Robb Tripp and Walt Harrah for the wonderful job they both did to make this album a reality. I am grateful to you both; you are both gifted producers. And a special thank you to all the great musicians and arrangers who were a part of this project.

The original production under Robb Tripp in TN was titled: Country Christian and produced in the Nashville area with a live band of superb musicians. I could tell them what I was hearing for each song and they not only gave me what I asked, but way beyond as well.

Three songs were produced in CA with Walt Harrah. Besides being a producer, he is also a talented singer. I was delighted when he agreed to be the singer on both Fire Insurance (about accepting Jesus), and The Wolves Are Out (about the importance of judging by fruits). He was also my duet partner in 45 & Holding (about always putting God off). He's also particularly gifted at harmony. He could lay down 4 harmony tracks in succession without even one sour or missed note.
