Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone can provide title and author information for the
following stray dances that I recently transcribed from postie notes
written in my wife's handwriting. I'm sure I downloaded these from my
memory while I was driving and she took dictation, but I'm not sure how
long ago, or where we'd been dancing, or who might have been calling.
The formatting is from tables in Microsoft Word -- I didn't bother to
un-format for this post.
Thanks!
Jerome
