Whew! I'm glad it was Billy Ray so now I can tell my BRC story. It's even Disney related.
Almost everyone knows BRC's first big hit "Achy Breaky Heart". I was a big country and western dancer when it came out and I heard that song more times than I can count. We even danced a special line dance to the song as was popular back then. Fast forward to 2000 and my family is visiting Tokyo Disneyland. Most of the shows are in Japanese and the Country Bear Jamboree was no exception. The show was quite a bit different from the WDW show, however. The highlight (for us, at least) was a bunch of familiar animitronic bears singing "Achy Breaky Heart" in Japanese. The Japanese tourists were clapping along and my husband and I were almost doubled over in laughter. Thank you, Billy Ray! It was one of the best moments on my entire trip!
Ack!!! My least favorite line dance EVER! DH and I were CW dance instructors back in those days. We taught partner dancing, but at the end of each lesson I took 15 minutes to teach a line dance. Since Achy Breaky was such a craze, I taught that one for months. Thanks for the bad memories!
