Tulsa Tribute was written by Keith Tuxhorn (Austin, Texas) in memory of G. Wesley (Wes)
Brown, a Tulsa contra and square caller (and friend/mentor to me) who was killed in 2012
as a bystander in a gang-related shooting. He is very much missed, and it is wonderful to
see that the dance has traveled so far. I hope his memory can travel with it.

Tulsa Tribute is a simple, lovely "contra waltz" that works well as a cool-down
on a hot night. I sometimes use it as the next-to-last dance of the evening. The band
needs to choose a waltz in AABB, rather than ABAB as many are usually played. If I teach
it in tempo, they usually figure it out.

**Becket**
A1: Circle left 1/2, balance the ring
Circle left 1/2, balance the ring
A2: Ladies chain over and back (it really helps to call this in tempo - the ladies tend
to pick up the loveliness of the waltz tempo with the chain)
B1: Full hey for four (ladies start by passing right shoulders)
B2: With your partner, waltz in place, end by sliding left to a new couple.
