[Callers] Re: Need Title and Author

On my dance, Fred Park’s Long Drive, it can, of course, be converted to a 32 bar dance by eliminating the B2 Rory O’More figure (something I considered). But I think, with the recent passing of Fred, it would be appropriate not alter it—at least for the next some period of time. I seem to recall it was first called at Warren Wilson College. I was traveling with the String Beings, and Fred appeared there after a long drive. He liked it. Fred and I spent a number of nights staying up into the wee hours talking about dances, teaching, and our lives. I miss him. Besides being a renown story teller, as a dance caller and teacher, Fred was, among other things, a choreographer, innovator, musician, historian, mentor, and friend. I miss him. ~Erik Hoffman Oakland, CA From: Maia McCormick via Contra Callers &lt;contracallers(a)lists.sharedweight.net&gt; Sent: Monday, August 7, 2023 7:48 AM To: Jerome Grisanti &lt;jerome.grisanti(a)gmail.com&gt; Cc: Shared Weight Contra Callers &lt;contracallers(a)lists.sharedweight.net&gt; Subject: [Callers] Re: Need Title and Author Off the top of my head, Erik’s “Missing Duck” is similar, though with the hey and Rory reversed: https://www.ibiblio.org/contradance/thecallersbox/dance.php?id=2754 ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ External (contracallers@lists.sharedweight.net<mailto:contracallers@lists.sharedweight.net>) Report This Email<https://protection.inkyphishfence.com/report?id=bmV0b3JnZnQxNTA4MD… FAQ<https://www.godaddy.com/help/report-email-with-advanced-email-securi… GoDaddy Advanced Email Security, Powered by INKY<https://www.inky.com/protection-by-inky> Off the top of my head, Erik’s “Missing Duck” is similar, though with the hey and Rory reversed: https://www.ibiblio.org/contradance/thecallersbox/dance.php?id=2754<http… On Mon, Aug 7, 2023 at 10:28 AM Jerome Grisanti via Contra Callers <contracallers@lists.sharedweight.net<mailto:contracallers@lists.sharedweight.net>> wrote: Hello friends, I saw Erik Hoffman's 40-bar dance "Fred Park's Long Drive" online, and got to wondering about a 32-bar version without the B2 (ocean wave Rory O'More), thus going from the hey to the partner balance & swing. Surely I've seen and danced such a sequence, but I cannot recall the title. https://www.ibiblio.org/contradance/thecallersbox/dance.php?id=5021<http… I could thus add a "See Also" reference to each card, so I could use whichever sequence a band can accommodate.
