Country Time Archives Will Soon Be “Paid”
It’s been a long time coming, but we are finally converting the Country Time Dance Lines Archives over to a “paid” sub-domain of the main site. We have hosted this site and paid the expenses of housing it since 1994, but can no longer continue to offer these pages for free. Annual subscription costs will be offered for just $15.95 USD, and multi-year subscriptions will be offered which will save the subscriber 10% to 20% over the annual cost. With these prices, you can rest assured that we won’t be making a “dot.com fortune”, just covering expenses and making a living. Target date for the change-over is November 1, 2004. Have

When
the video dance instruction comes on-line, we will begin offering a
“Deluxe” subscription in each of these categories that will include access
to the Video Library as well as everything the Standard Subscription gets.
Rates for those subscriptions will be approximately double these rates and
there will be an upgrade offered to those subscribers already
enrolled.
Many
of you may not know it, but Dusty underwent open-heart surgery in February
2001 for an ascending aortic dissection, the same malady that killed the
actor John Ritter (TV: Three’s Company) in 2003. Dusty was a very
lucky man. He was airlifted to Shand’s Hospital at the University Of
Florida in Gainesville, Florida where he underwent the emergency surgery
in the middle of the night at the hand of one of the top
thorasic-cardiology surgeons in the country, Dr. Thomas Martin. Just
before the annual Country Time cruise in 2003, he became ill again and was
hospitalized with a staph infection of the bloodstream. Released from the
hospital the night before the cruise left (and prohibited from going on
the cruise by the doctors), he was cared for by in-home nurses and on an
intravaneous anti-biotic until February 2004. In March and again in April
of this year he again was hospitalized for 10-12 days each. In May, he was
again airlifted to Shand’s where he underwent another round of open-heart
surgery to replace the earlier aortic graft that had become infected.
Dusty now has a porcine valve in his heart and a tube made of Dacron in
his chest that replaces his aorta. As for the infection, he remains under
the care of the infectious diseases doctors at Shand’s Hospital, and the
prognosis is very basic: the infection cannot be cured, only
controlled.
