CLUB NOTE
As its a bit livelier, we do this to the Kentucky Headhunters version of Singin' The Blues which differs as follows :
At the end of walls 3 & 5, omit the last 4 counts of the dance (facing 9:00 & 3:00 walls respectively). Then do the 10 count tag detailed above
Do NOT perform the restart detailed for wall 5 for when using the Cliff Richard track.
Apart from that it's the same !!
