Thanks everyone, particularly Chris and Jim! Very helpful. So far almost everything in my original email has been positively identified. Most of them were scribbled down on scraps of paper years ago, and in some cases I introduced additional errors when I transferred them to my notation system of the time. With the titles on hand and your help I've been able to fix everything and now have a bunch more good and usable dances. All that remains are the last two (which I am about 80% certain I wrote) and the dance with circles of three, which I nicknamed Hawaii Three-O a long time ago. People are suggesting Christmas Hornpipe as the source, but Don Armstrong's Raccoon Ramble (not Old Raccoon as previously stated) is a much closer match than the Ralph Page or traditional versions. I don't have a copy of the Ted Sannella/Tony Saletan variant to compare. I have about four or five more dances which have popped up without titles and/or authors; I'll get them typed up later tonight, and that should bring me into compliance with all International Standards of Contra Dance Choreographer Recognition. Cheers, and many thanks to all! Neal Tucson, AZ -- The third-rate mind is only happy when thinking with the majority. The second-rate mind is only happy when thinking with the minority.
