Hi, Seth,
Thanks for your feedback on Catfish. I hope you enjoy it.
I have called Sadie at the Back Door in the wild. The hey seems to
flow OK into the circle left. When the gent gets back to the starting
side he loops around and keeps moving into the circle, bringing his
partner along.
I'll have to find a recording of Little Nell. I learned it from David
Kaynor and Susan Conger. It's notated in the Portland Collection,
Volume 2.

I *LOVE* your dance Nail That Catfish to the Tree. I was humming the
tune and the dance fits perfectly! Wow! That is going to be one
satisfying dance/tune combination.
Sadie and theBack door
A1: Neighbor gypsy and swing
A2: Gents allemande left 1.5 to partner; partner swing
B1: Gents start hey for 4, passing left shoulders in the center
B2: Circle left 3 places; balance the ring; partner California twirl to
face next
Has "Sadie and the Back Door" been called in the wild? I love the flow
in this dance - and it's always a nice change to have the gents lead the
hey. At the end of the hey, are you suggesting the gents loop right (to
flow into the Circle Left) or left (which is the natural hey movement,
but to make work with the circle would have to be basically a turn
single)? When you've called it, have the dancers been confused by the
transition from the hey to the circle?
Little Nell
I don't know the tune Little Nell - where can we hear it? Is it recorded
anywhere?
