Don, "Shutesbury Reel", by David, Is a perfectly straightforward dance, but 48 bars which makes it interesting and fun

How about "Stuart's Big Move"?

"David on Fridays" by Paul Eric Smith is a nice dance

I wrote 3 or 4 for David. Let me think which ones fit your criteria and I'll get back to you

Subject: [Callers] Favorite Dances by or for David Kaynor?
 
Hi,

I'm calling a session at NEFFA next month where we're honoring David Kaynor's contribution in music and dance. The band has a relationship with David and will be playing his music.

I've searched for David's dances and have several I've called before. What I'm seeking are recommendations for DK dances that are particular favorites of yours.

Harder to search for are dances written to honor David. For instance, David's Guiding Star by Steve Zakon-Anderson - should you have any such favorites I'd be happy to hear of those too!

Our slot is the penultimate contra session of the weekend, so solid sequences without significant complications will rule.

Thanks!
Don

Among those classics and others I already have are: The Baby Rose, Young Adult Rose, Excretion Reel, Terror on Takeoff, Cherokee Shuffle, The Dog's Breakfast, Paul's Line, Hands of Brass, Mary Cay's Reel plus Steve Z-A's dance above and one I wrote for David too (Fiddler's Fling).
