Hi Listers,
I have two versions of Bluemont Reel (one by Warren Hofstra), but it does
not seem possible that both can work. Do I have either version right? There
are some other questions peppered throughout.
Thanks.
Version 1 (Warren Hofstra)
(A1) Circle left ½ (4 counts ?)
Neighbor Swing (must be 12 counts?)
(A2) Circle left ¾ (do dancers have any problems going from the circle
½ to the circle ¾?)
Partner Swing (end facing down)
(B1) Down-thehall 4-in-line (Ones in the center???)
Turn as couples (Who???, ones only or split in the center into two couples)
Back (Hand cast?)
(B2) Ladys Chain (over but not back)
Long Lines Forward and Back
Version 2 (from Larry Jennings, Zesty Contras)
The only difference seems to be in B2. My version 2 reads
Ladys Chain (over but not back)
Right and left 4 (over but not back)
As I have them, both versions cannot work.
Thanks,
Rickey Holt

Improper contra
A1 Circle left half way
swing neighbour on the far side
A2 Circle left three quarters (ish)
swing partner on ladies original (improper) side (end the swing facing down)
B1 lead down in a line of four, turn as couples, lead back, bend the line
B2 half ladies chain across
half right and left through * (look to a new neighbor to circle L ½)
