Hello Judy, I found the Dick Leger album with Roger Whynot contras. I remember dancing many of these at East Hill Farm with Dick Leger.
*SW Contra* Alternate Duple/Double Progression, No P Swg A1 N DSD, N Swg A2 Face Across Flutterwheel, Sweep 1/4, Star Thru B1 Circle Left, Circle Right B2 Promenade Across, R&L Thru *Eighteenth of January* Alternate Duple/Double Progression, No P Swg A1 N DSD, N Swg A2 Square Thru, Slide Thru, Meet New Neighbor, Join Hands w/New Neighbor B1 Circle Left, Circle Right B2 Lad Chain, Chain Back *Route 61* Alternate Duple, No P Swg (This is listed as a Double Progression. Is it?) A1 Across the Set RH Balance, Turn Half by Right, R&L Thru & Courtesy Turn 1/4 More A2 Promenade Wholeset, Wheel Around & Comeback B1 Lad Chain, Chain Back B2 New N Swg, LL F&B *Sue's Delight* Alternate Duple Single Progression The Sweep 1/4 are indicated as with vines. A1 Holding your P hand, Balance as Couples R, then L, Sweep 1/4, Lad Chain to N A2 Lad Chain to P, Holding N Hand, Balance as Couples R, the Left, Sweep 1/4 B1 R&L Thru, Star Thru, Circle Half, B2 Pass Thru & Swg, LL F&B These contras are all on the first side of the LP "A Modern Style Contra Dance Party". Each dance would all be a tough sell today, since there are no Partner Swings.
