Re: [Callers] Unruly Reunion/Monterey Detour

I know of two other instances of two persons writing essentially the same dance.  (1) Jim Kitch and Al Olson independently wrote the following sequence:           Improper           A1   Alm left N 1 1/2 and swing a 2nd (new) neighbor           A2   Alm left a 3rd N once, pass right shoulders with the one you swung,                      and swing your original N           The two dances had the same B1 (I don't remember if it's                     W alm L 1 1/2 and partners swing or Circle Left 3/4 and partners swing, or something else)           But the two dances differ only in the B2.           Al Olson's version is called "The Empty Crack."   I do not recall the name of Jim's version (2) Mark Richardson from Bloomington IN and someone (in California I think)          independently wrote the same dance.  I do not recall the name of either.  I'm a bit surprised near duplicate dances are not identified more often    Michael Fuerst      802 N Broadway      Urbana IL 61801       217-239-5844 Links to photos of many of my drawings and paintings are at www.ArtComesFuerst.com ________________________________ From: Kalia Kliban <kalia(a)sbcglobal.net> To: Caller's discussion list <callers(a)sharedweight.net> Sent: Friday, August 31, 2012 4:58 PM Subject: [Callers] Unruly Reunion/Monterey Detour I just noticed that these two dances, Unruly Reunion by Robert Cromartie and Monterey Detour by Bob Dalsemer, are identical.  I don't know if I've picked up modified versions, or if they're simply examples of parallel evolution. There must be other known cases of identical dances with different names.  Anyone know a few?  It happens in English occasionally as well (Take a Dance and Ore Boggy being the most well-known).
