REPEAT

TAG

When using Blue Moon Of Kentucky, wait for the waltz intro. Then the beat changes. Wait 16 strong counts and start with the word « moon ». After the 8th repetition, (the end of the instrumental section), you will be facing the front. Repeat the last 8 counts as a tag/bridge, then start again from the beginning.
