Hi Rich and All,

My memory of "Frontier Twirl" is pretty strong. But then again, it's the 80s I'm talking about...

Erik,
I have heard Frontier Whirl as a California Twirl, but never Frontier Twirl?  Are you sure?  (Maybe I am mistaken.)

Aha! A whole new topic. Well, actually old. Larry Edelman, one of my favorite dance callers, and someone I feel lucky to have spent time with, and from whom I have learned so much, use to complain about "California Twirl." I don't recall his reasons, but he always called it a "Frontier Twirl," which I think he got from old square dance books.
