[Callers] Four face fours

[Don Veino via Callers]

Below is one of mine from a similar series - the one of those I've called
so far. I'm going to test the other [B1 variation] shown here next time I
get a chance.

On your other questions, Lynne Ackerson's Coconut Cream Pie is a fave as
it's interesting yet bulletproof with mixed crowds (and I use it so much, I
wrote another dance leveraged from it to have some variation - Boston Cream
Pie). I also share your fondness for Rick's dance so I swapped bits of Up
All Night to generate one to pair for an alternating dance - Insomniac's
Delight (Gents Left Star, Grand L & R, See Saw).

*Oceans 4 (DRAFT) - 4 Face 4 - Don Veino 20161204*

Note this dance never converts to a square formation. Tune suggestion:
Thomas Shrug's March.

*WHILE*
