Ruth, who will be going again to Knoxville TN. again this weekend for a taping of Club Dance. Starting on Sept. 13 we can be seen on TNN-( Nashville Network ) at either 9:A.M or 2P.M. eastern time for 9 consecutive weekdays. My husband is very tall, and I am short and somewhat dumpy. We both have grey hair, and he has a grey beard. Perhaps you can find us in the crowd of dancers.
