Hi Jeremy,
You can hear Bob Howell singing Auld Lang Syne Contra on Grenn 16018. It's very
similar choreo to the SGB.
Go to www.dosido.com and on the very top of the page is a link to Palamino
records/Hanhursts.
Follow that link and enter contra in the song search box
side A of the preview has the singing.
If you are interested in the 'song sheets' for some of the other recordings on
that page you can find
some at www.ceder.net/recorddb/query_cuesheet.php4 and search for
contra (follow contra with blank, otherwise you will find more
than you want)
Cheers, Bill
There's at least one. Check out the 2008 Ralph
Page Dance Legacy Weekend syllabus, online, page 47. Dave Colestock called the singing
contra "The SGB Contra" to the tune of Sweet Georgia Brown. Dave adapted the
dance from one, on record (vinyl), called "Sweet Georgia Brown Contra." More
details in the syllabus. I couldn't get the tune out of my head for weeks after
dancing to it, doggone it. Dave's on this list, so he may want to add more himself.
