David, It helps VERY MUCH thank you! I think I was looking alphabetically under "O" for Olson instead of "J" for Jennings. DUH! Google was pulling up the right page, but I kept scrolling down too far.
And thank you for the Roger Diggle version!

Along with 500 dances in his unique transcription style, Larry includees many provocative essays that are in many ways even more valuable than the dances. Same thing goes for Give-and-Take, the more recent sequel which was written in part because Larry's sense of what constituted a "zesty" contra had changed over time. "Zesty Contras" actually includes dances without a partner swing-- gasp! I was on autopilot when I suggested this and credited it to Roger Diggle. It's because the version I usually call is Roger's variation of Al's dance, which Al liked even better than his original composition. MORE FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR Roger Diggle variation of dance by Al Olson Becket formation A1 Circle left 3/4, allemande right with your neighbor 1-1/2 into long waves (men facing in, women out) A2 Rory O'More balances B1 Allemande right once around, men start hey for four across the set B2 Continue the hey (until you meet partner), swing partner, slide left along the set to the next couple <snip> Hope this helps...
