Dan,
You're right, the move is awkward for the men. If I were going to
re-write the dance it might look something like this:
A1 Circle left 3/4, gents roll neighbor right
1/2 hey (gents pass left)
A2 Neighbor bal. & swing
B1 Long lines
Gents Al. Right 3/4, new gents Al. Left 3/4 (ladies take a step to
the left)
B2 Partner Bal. & swing
I have danced other dances with the gent's using this progression, but
can't think of them right now. Maybe someone else on this list has them
in their collection and would like to share?

Gang,
By the way, Mary Kays Reel is a favorite and I enjoy changing roles in this dance ( the
lady role rocks). There seems to be an awkward sequence in the B1 in the below referenced
dance:
B1 Promenade (the dance originally called for a right and left through
here)
Gents allemande Right 3/4 to a fleeting long lineThe gents right hand may be behind the
lady for the promenade then the gent has to reach out with his right hand for an allemande
right without bopping his neighbor in the head or worse.
Do I have this right? While walking this in my living room it seems uncomfortable, has
anyone dance this sequence to confirm this?

Susan Kevra's "The Country of Marriage" has that "Mary Cay's"
move as well,
done by the men.
