Nathaniel Jack’s “Loon on the Lake” also has this figure in it:
(Becket, progresses left)
A1 8 Circle L 3/4
8 Neighbor Swing
A2 8 LL F+B
8 Star L 1x
B1 8 New women 1/2 hay L (men loop right to join, passing partner R)
8 Women Al L 1x, men walk around clockwise ½ way around to home side
B2 16 Partner Bal + Swing
NJ’s comments:
The second dance I wrote was loon on the lake. It had some flow problems and so
there's now a version 2. I don't keep version 1 around anymore, because I
don't think it's worth dancing, so make sure you're up to date! The only thing
I wish was different is I'd like the orbit to go straight into a swing (with no
balance) but 16 beats of swing alone is too much I think.

Here's one I'm familiar with off the top of my head featuring that transition
(called it at NEFFA this year):
Belmont Romp - Becket - Dan Pearl (var DonV)
A1 Circle Left 3/4x, Neighbor Swing
A2 Long Lines Fwd/Back (note next N)
Star Left 1x to Gents face out, Ladies in
B1 NEXT Ns Full Hey (Ladies pass LEFT in center)
B2 Ladies Cross, Partner Swing
Dan's original is "modified DI" starting with the hey and has a Circle Left
in place of the Long Lines. Page 94 of Give and Take.

Hi folks,
I ran this at a monthly dance, and it was well received; so I figured I'd share it
around. To my knowledge it's new. Please correct me if you know of a prior.
The interesting/odd bit is the transition from B2 to A1, where the ladies role comes out
of a left hand star with old neighbors to start a hey by the left shoulder in the middle
with new neighbors. It flows well, but is unexpected.

As for the title, well, I was on a presidents and folk music kick. Writing titles is
harder than writing dances...
Enjoy.
