Hello Bob - Can you elaborate on the A1 in Criss Cross Heys? I don't
understand "pass thru R." If it's becket and the circle L is all the way
around, then you're passing through across the set, yes? Are you passing
thru on the right diagonal? Sorry to be dense ;-)

There are a couple of other dances I'm having trouble tracking down.
One is Hotpoint Special, which I think may be by Rick Mohr, and again
there's a band by that name. Criss-Cross Hey by Bob Isaacs is another.

I have a scribbled note from a dance weekend back in February that I
really enjoyed this dance but I didn't get the author's name, and now
all I can find online is references to the band with that name. Can
anybody point me to a source?

A year or two ago I was at a dance where Rhodri Davies called some squares with Allemande Alphabet figures, of the form:
Allemande (corner) left to an Allemande X: Pass your partner and swing the next.
Allemande left to an Allemande R (appears in MWSD as Allemande Thar): chain right then left to a back-up star.
Where can I find more of these? Were there well-agreed uses of each letter, or did the caller just make up something that rhymed as well as being danceable?

Hi everyone,
I had the pleasure of calling Lynn Ackerson's 4x4 "Coconut Cream Pie" for the first time last night. It was, forgive me, easy as pie for everyone to get - which I suppose was her reason for writing it as it's a simplified version of Apple Pie Quadrille. (It was also perfect for an American 4th of July weekend dance, featuring both stars and stripes [long lines]. Ha.)
Do you have other favorite, not too difficult, 4-facing-4 dances you're willing to share?

Here in the Monadnock region of NH, where I call mostly community, school
and camp "barn dances," whenever there are folks over 60 they invariably
request, "Oh, Johnny, Oh"!

I recently met a delightful local guy who grew up playing for his father in
southwestern NH, who promised to sing me the whole dance when we meet
again next week! I will duly write it down and share it here.
