Hi callers,
I improvised this dance inspired by James Hutson's Treasure of the Sierra
Madre last night, but it seems like it could have been written before. Does
anyone have a title and author for it?
NB. The B2->A1 transition has slightly awkward hands for the gents, but it
seemed to go fine.
A1: N balance, box the gnat; gents allemande left 1+1/2
A2: full hey, pass P right
B1: P balance, swing
B2: circle left 3/4; balance ring, P CA twirl
Thanks,
Yoyo Zhou

A1: N B&Sw
A2: LLFB; Gents Allemande L 1.5
B1: P B&Sw
B2: P promenade across; Circle Left 3/4, N pull by
It seems so obvious that someone must have written it before.

It's similar to two of mine. I could have tweaked one or the other to produce the
sequence above, but I decided I didn't want to give a name to every possible variation
I could think of.
Heritage Reel (May 1988)
A.1: N B&Sw
A.2: LLF&B; M AL 1.5
B.1: P B&Sw
B.2: P prom across; W Ch
Solstice Special (June 1991)
A.1: N Dosi&Sw
A.2: LLF&B; M AL 1.5
B.1: P Gyp&Sw
B.2: P prom across; circle L 3/4, pass thru

Hi Seth,
I don't recall an exact match, but it's similar to Big Easy by Becky Hill:
A1 N B+S
A2 LLFB; Ladies alle R 1.5
B1 P B+S
B2 Cir L 3/4; Bal ring, pass thru
or CJ's Delight by Amy Kahn:
A1 N B+S
A2 LLFB; Ladies alle R 1.5
B1 P Gypsy+Sw
B2 Ps promenade CCW; Cal Twirl
and very close to Heritage Reel by Tony Parkes:
A1 N B+S
A2 LLFB; Gents alle L 1.5
B1 P B+S
B2 Half promenade; ladies chain
Hope this helps.
Thanx, Ric Goldman

Yoyo,
I don't know if such a sequence already exists, but your point about the
awkward transition had me wondering about replacing your B2 with:
Balance the ring, pass through, turn alone.
Star left 3/4 (three quarters).

Yoyo and All:
I wrote that sequence on 8/6/10, and call it Hook, Line, and Sinker. At the time I looked
around and didn't find it in the usual sources, but it's possible someone else
preceded me with it.
