Re: [Callers] Circle R -> New N Circle L

Hi Everyone, From 11/9/2003, on which date we ceremonially opened the new doors to our newly, fully wheelchair-accessible Guiding Star Grange Hall: Open Doors David Kaynor Duple Improper A1 Circle Left 3/4; pwing partner A2 Down Hall 4 - in - line; wheel around as couples; return; bend line into long line B1 Long lines forward; ladies back up pulling neighbor gents out; swing neighbors (end progressed) B2 Long Lines forward & back; circle right; turn alone to face new neighbors In the early or mid 1980s, my cousin Cammy Kaynor composed a fun dance for which he always played the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance on recorder, sort of spitting out monosyllabic prompts, we all thought very remarkable, quite entertaining, and effective, if occasionally somewhat salivary; I seem to recall accumulations of moisture on Cam's microphone. Among this dance's cool and unusual aspects was the B2 sequence wherein, from progressed positions, you circled left with future neighbors and right with current neighbors. Here's what I remember: The Abbots Bromley Horn Dance Cammy Kaynor Duple Improper A1 #1s balance; dos-a-dos; swing A2 With neighbor, balance; dos-a-dos; swing (end progressed) B1 Ladies chain B2 With future neighbors, circle left; with current neighbors, circle right I used to dance it a lot. Fitting the balance, dos-a-dos, and swing all into a phrase seemed totally fine and fun ... especially to that tune! As far as I know, Cam has never written it out, but I think he still calls it (and plays recorder simultaneously). David
