Hey Jean,

Nice dance. Did you consider or field test reversing the mad robin (gents
forward and left to start)? Just curious.

Regards,

Greg

  Actually, I wrote it for my 69th birthday, which was
on Oct 1.  You see,
 when you are born, that is your first trip around the sun.  Then you have
 your first birthday, which is actually your 2nd trip around the sun.  I am
 so happy the dance is being called!  YAY!!  The only tricky part seems to
 be having the Neighbor gent end the swing in good time, to allow the Lady
 to transition smoothly into the Mad Robin with their next neighbor.

 Amy - I will be up your way for my actual 70th birthday, on my
 Septuagenarian Tour with Audrey Knuth and Amy Englesberg!  Hope to see you
 then!

 Jean

  I called this last night at Childgrove in Saint
Louis.  Dancers seemed
 pleased, but I got some questions about the title -- I think some of them
 heard 70 Libra Sons and were imagining a bunch of boys born in October.
  Where did the name come from?

 Hello All!  I wanted to write a dance in celebration of my stepping into
 the Libra Sun for the 70th time.  I wanted it to be very balanced, in Libra
 fashion.

 Anyone seen this dance before?  It is not like anything in my data base
 that has Mad Robin in the A1, but I did not search the other figures.

 Thanks for your input!
