I've often wondered why dance writers wouldn't want to put their dances out
there for us to use. Yes, one makes a bit of money from the books, but is it

Hi Jeff,
Given the sensitivity that William expressed to protect the wishes of dance
authors who would prefer to sell their works, would you please consider
removing " contra _dances_caller.doc" from your website ?

Well, as has happened a number of times, you can post it here and someone
will recognize it. My Caller's Companion database allows you to search your
own entered dances by phrase, for example all dances with a Partner swing in
the A1 and a Petronella twirl in the B1. This allows you to greatly narr

Sadie and the Back Door seems quite nice, though I'd
have to think how best to teach the hey->circle transition.

I think there might be a typo in the tune/dance name, which should be "Sadie

partner along.
