Author's Notes:
The San Francisco Folk Music Club marks the New Year with an annual music camp held at Camps Campbell and Harmon, redubbed "Camp Harmony" for the occasion. I wrote this dance and "The Harmony Supper Table" one evening during the 1986/87 camp.
The first half is lifted from Steve Zakon's "With Thanks to The Dean" (see Ted Sannella's book "Swing The Next" for directions and background information on Steve's dance, including Ted's revision of Steve's original version of the A2 part).
This dance is from American Country Dances On Line
