Judy, Dick Leger published an LP of contras written by Roger Whynot. The LP was aimed at square dancers and included Flutter Wheel and Sweep 1/4 More. Perhaps I will be able to find it later and post some dances.
I called contras at the New England Square and Round Dance Convention this year and the dancers enjoyed contras that I also call at modern contra dances, Keep the progressions simple, and keep the swings short.
