Could I Have This Dance?

I had a special request from my wife to learn and record this one. True story:

The movie Urban Cowboy starring John Travolta and Debra Winger came out in 1980 and fueled the cowboy dance hall craze in much the same way that Saturday Night Fever lit up disco in the ‘70s. In October of 1982 I had my first date with my future wife, Tina, and after attending a college football game we wound up at the biggest cowboy dance hall in Lafayette, Louisiana. There’s a very good chance that we two-stepped our way around a sawdust-covered floor to this very song that night. Forty-one years later, she’s still the love of my life.

“Could I Have This Dance?” was written by Wayland Holyfield and Bob House and recorded by the Canadian superstar Anne Murray. It was included on the Urban Cowboy soundtrack and became a #1 country hit for Murray. Join us for a spin around the floor in ¾ time.
