Tulsa Tribute was written by Keith Tuxhorn (Austin, Texas) in memory of G. Wesley (Wes) Brown, a Tulsa contra and square caller (and friend/mentor to me) who was killed in 2012 as a bystander in a gang-related shooting. He is very much missed, and it is wonderful to see that the dance has traveled so far. I hope his memory can travel with it.

Tulsa Tribute is a simple, lovely "contra waltz" that works well as a cool-down on a hot night.  I sometimes use it as the next-to-last dance of the evening.  The band needs to choose a waltz in AABB, rather than ABAB as many are usually played.  If I teach it in tempo, they usually figure it out.

Tulsa Tribute -  Keith ?Juxhorn? (can't read my own writing)

A1:  Circle left 1/2, balance the ring
        Circle left 1/2, balance the ring
A2:  Ladies chain over and back (it really helps to call this in tempo - the ladies tend to pick up the loveliness of the waltz tempo with the chain)
B1:  Full hey for four (ladies start by passing right shoulders)
B2:  With your partner, waltz in place, end by sliding left to a new couple.
