I should note that I've been trying this year to add multiple references to the Caller's Box, especially for the older dances.
http://www.ibiblio.org/contradance/thecallersbox/dance.php?id=3615 should give 10 references, six of which are online. (There's one more for in the next update: Oglebay Institute Syllabus <vol> 1982 <no> Spring <p> 10. It's still an ongoing project.) -Chris Page On Thu, Dec 12, 2019 at 4:35 PM Kalia Kliban via Contra Callers <[email protected]> wrote: > > This dance appears in the RPLDW syllabus from 1990, transcribed from the > previously-taped calling of Ralph Page.
