I have narrowed down the problem areas to only a couple, but that&#8217;s like saying<br \/>\n\tI now understand the reason I don&#8217;t have any hair is because I have gotten much older.<\/p>\n<p>\tHaving said all this I made a discovery last night. I found that I can extend my rolls significantly by just turning on<br \/>\n\tthe best of the Bee Gees as loud as I can when I practice. The difference is fantastic, plus my dancing has<br \/>\n\timproved in just one night.<\/p>\n<p>\tWhat I still cant figure out is why I have had such good results at home and Saturday night after a Bee Gees (Australian) concert<br \/>\n\tI did awful on the table, however I was so disgusted I went to slots and won much more than I lost. <\/p>\n<p>\tSo now I know for sure that Bee Gees music is the ticket, I just have to figure out what train it is for.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tgman<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Replies:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> SevenTimesSeven on December 8, 2014, 4:45 pm<\/p>\n<div>Gman,<\/p>\n<p>\tI, for myself, comiserate.
