I am trying to recover a dance that was called last night by George Marshall
in Belfast, ME. I noted at the time that it was named "Generation Gap" and
that I enjoyed it, but I recall little else about it. I have done a google
search and found reference to a dance of that name written by Thankful
Cromartie, so that is probably it, but I can't find a transcription. Is
anyone familiar with this one? Thanks

Hi Richard,
This was written by Robert Cromartie's daughter when she was yea-
high. I seem to recall that some ladies have a tendency to slow down
on the gypsy, so the dosido was an alternative for that.
