Re: [Callers] Good grief, yet another cure

I LOVE this dance (Princeton Petronellas)--it's one of the few for which I distinctly remember the first time I danced it (Peterborough Play Ball in honor of Baseball season's start, probably 2009, Steve Zakon-Anderson w/ broken leg calling). What's best about it is its complete, inevitable smoothness, but I also have a bit of a 'thing' for dances were you do the same thing twice but it works out differently (e.g. also Cary Ravitz's "Roadkill" and Orace Johnson's "Midwest Folklore.") One of the fun parts of Gene Hubert's "Sarah's Journey" is also that it sort of does the "same thing twice"; "Sarah's" is one of my VERY favorite contras. Interestingly, like "clap trap" dances, punctuation is notably absent: in that case, the absence is a balance before the box-the-gnats (boxes-of-the-gnat?).
