Re: 80 beat crooked tune:
You could fit the three part version of Ragtime Annie to it, but just do the C part once
without a repeat.
You could do the full Billy Wilson, from the Portland Collection #2 if you don't know
it. It would work perfectly!

Folks
I'm looking for an online tune [presumably YouTube] for
practicing calling "Major Hey" (Erik Hoffman's dance).
It has five sixteen-beat parts (80 beats). Here is a nice
called version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N62Ozg9Nm8Q
I'm looking for just an instrumental version of some 80
beat tune, no calling, no singing. Much thanks, -Jonathan King
PS: Can someone identify the caller in the above clip? Ta.

It might be easier to find a tune that's AABBCC (for example, Reel
Beatrice or
Banish Misfortune) and just pretend the partner swing is extra
long. Be careful when your actual band only plays 1 C part, though.
The caller in the video is Cis Hinkle (her name appears in the last second
of the video, and at 2:56 you can see her).

When I call this dance - I just ask just ask the band if they have a 5 part tune.? Some
do - dome don't
If they don't - I just use a 4 part tune and know the dance will not start at the A1
each time - hasn't caused any problems
You can call this as a 4 part dance if you leave out the Rory O More - but it isn't
near as much fun

The band in the video is playing the old-time tune "Texas Gals", which
is an AABBCC tune, with the C part played only once for this dance.
This should work for many AABBCC tunes, but might feel weird to the
band :).
