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
