Dear All,

I've noted before that I do this dance every year for a lakeside community (dancers arrive in boats) where we do dances form the 40s and 50s. Hinky Dinkey, Hot time, Marching thru Georgia, Nelly Bly and -- the "must do" dance of the first half -- The Farmer.

I'm interested in finding and dances from that era that Would be good to trot out for the group.

I've added Right Hand High, Left Hand Low to Camptown Races. I have Life on the Ocean Wave. We do My Little Girl with the tilt-a-whirl figure I posted recently.

I've thought I should come up with a good Pistol Packin Mamma figure but have not found one I like.

Any other thoughts ideas or "stuff" re: this kind of really, really easy singers -- I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Thanks,

Ridge (still in New Joisey)
