[Callers] New dance

[Donna Hunt]

 I looked at it and thought "jigs" because of the 4 steps into the middle (and thinking of slowing folks down).  What kind of tune did you use Chuck?

It's been road tested at our local caller's night; not yet at an actual dance. Hope to in the next couple weeks.

This looks good on paper.  Have you road-tested it?  That note at the
