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.
