Here is another EZ mixer from Dick Leger via Lori Morin.  Dick and Lori have 
promted it to Billy Ray Cyrus' "Where Am I Gonna Live When I Get Home".

Subject: Re: [Callers] Favorite mixers?
  

Thanks Kalia for getting this discussion started. You and others might be 
interested in going back into the Callers archives for a couple of earlier 
discussions on mixers, one in March 2012 started by David Millstone, I think, 
and one on waltz mixers in October 2010 started by Chrissy Fowler. It looks 
like there's some overlap between now and the earlier discussions, but not a 
lot.

Here's a  mixer I use fairly often that I don't think has come up recently or 
in the earlier discussions. It's a reordering of one I learned from the English 
caller John Turner when he was over here in the mid-90's. (As he presented it, 
the promenade was the end of the sequence.)

A1 Partner balance and swing
A2 Promenade
B1 Ladies to the center and back (clap on count 4); gents the same, end facing 
your partner around the ring (i.e., gents face CCW, ladies CW)
B2 Allemande Right partner (=#1) once and a half, Allemande Left the next (=#2) 
once and a half to face the next (=#3, your new partner)

I always think of this as "John Turner's Mixer," but I wrote him some years 
back to see if he had title and author information on it. He calls it "Grand 
Chain Allemande" but couldn't remember where/when he had collected it or who 
might have composed it. I wonder if John Sweeney or any other English dance 
leaders who read [Callers] might know something about it.
