Author's Notes:
Composed in Sept. '85 and originally published in "Dizzy Dances Volume II" in 1986. This dance was the seed for many that came later. The differences between this and the originally published version reflect the evolution of my approach to square dancing during the period.

This dance is from American Country Dances On Line
