Re: [Callers] Seeking on 80 beat "crooked" tune - Contra Callers

15 Feb 2013

   The band in the video is playing the old-time tune "Texas Gals", which
   is an AABBCC tune, with the C part played only once for this dance.
   This should work for many AABBCC tunes, but might feel weird to the
   band :).

  Folks

 I'm looking for an online tune [presumably YouTube] for
 practicing calling "Major Hey" (Erik Hoffman's dance).
 It has five sixteen-beat parts (80 beats). Here is a nice
 called version:

 It might be easier to find a tune that's AABBCC (for example, Reel Beatrice or
Banish Misfortune) and just pretend the partner swing is    extra
...
 long. Be careful when your actual band only plays 1 C
part, though.

The caller in the video is Cis Hinkle (her name appears in the last    second
...
 of the video, and at 2:56 you can see her).
