Hi Rich and All,
My memory of "Frontier Twirl" is pretty strong. But then again, it's the
80s I'm talking about...

Erik,
I have heard Frontier Whirl as a California Twirl, but never Frontier
Twirl? Are you sure? (Maybe I am mistaken.)

Aha! A whole new topic. Well, actually old. Larry Edelman, one of
my favorite dance callers, and someone I feel lucky to have spent
time with, and from whom I have learned so much, use to complain
about "California Twirl." I don't recall his reasons, but he
always called it a "Frontier Twirl," which I think he got from old
square dance books.
