I called this last Sunday doing the Brattleboro, VT Contra Dance

Head Ladies Chain, and you - Swing 'em over there

Side Ladies Chain (RHStar), and you - Swing

All 4 Ladies Chain, it's a - three (3/4) quarter Chain

Swing with the third one - go 'round 2-3-4

4 Ladies Chain, go - 3 quarter round

Swing with the third one - around

4 Ladies Chain, it's a 3 quarter Chain

Swing with the third on one - around

Repeat first four AABB to finish. Call through again for the Gents.

This dance was called for years at the Heath, MA first and third Saturday dances to "Children of the Lord"

Perhaps again this summer at the W. Mass fairs by Doug Wilkins

Used it for 25 years at the Killingly, CT dance and put it to the tune of "Do What You Do Do Well."

No idea what the Dead Sea Squirrels played for me last Sunday, only that it moved.

I also used the Four Poster-Soldier's Joy square dance a couple of weeks before when Guillame Sparrow-Pepin

asked if I would do the square at his dance. Forward and Backs, Divide the Rings, Swings outside the Set

Again for contradancers, not a lot of choreography - but Swinging all the Neighbors and, more or less,keeping Partners

And you can keep picking up the phrasing.

Subject: [Callers] Contra friendly squares

Hi all,

I'm looking to expand the number of contra-friendly Squares in my box.

1. Keepers preferred unless it's a really good mixer.
2. Not too gimmicky.
3. Not really interested currently in Southern style visiting couple squares (heads and sides fine, but not one couple at a time).

(Got Kimmswick Express, First Night Quadrille, a couple others)

Thanks,
Ron
