American Squaredance, February 1985 3 CO-EDITORIAL Some years ago we wrote an editorial centered around the song refrain, "Y'gotta have heart." Every February it returns to haunt us because it obviously struck a chord and was reprinted widely. Now, in February 1985, as we read the letters and articles we're receiving, we wish for a magic wand to wave with the magic words, "Take heart." A deluge of foreboding feedback, a maelstrom of murmurings and pleas to toss in the lifebuoys, bring in the flutterwheel SWAT team and the track two medics to revive an ailing square dance activity. Overstated? Perhaps. This issue, like most others, contains good news about square dancing, as well as comments on for fun, dance for recreation! That's the the problems. More problems than in the purpose of square dancing, not to rush past? Well, sometimes it seems so.

Let us present Valentines this month to all our contributors! Of those who wrote special features for this month's enjoyment, only Lorraine Williams of Canada is not already familiar to ASD readers. Repeat writers include Orb Hoedley, Jo Jan Nunley, Frances Faulin, Erma Reynolds and Bev Warner. Their offerings are a "mixed bag," too. Well, some issues just were not destined to have a theme. So we'll use the remaining space to thank all the regular contributors: Ed Fraiden- burg, who is always two months ahead (an editor's dream), Frank and Phyl Lehnert, John Swindle, Harold and LIII Bausch, Gene Trimmer (also an early bird), Mary Jenkins, who sends book reviews in bunches, Russ and Nancy Nichols. These faithful writers never fail to produce their copy monthly. Thanks, too, to Walt Cole who joined these ranks a couple of months ago on "PS:MS", and to Mary Fabik, who undertook the responsibilities of "Encore" early in 1984 and churns out the copy every month along with all her other ASD chores. We love you all- and not just on Valentine's Day!! Happy Reading!

A MAN OF MANY TALENTS

What prompted your editors to ask Jack Berg of Chicago for a photo was the clever caricature of himself that decorates his blue jeans. What prompts the title above is the realization, after gathering the facts, that here is a man with many facets...a commercial artist, a jazz drummer, a square dance caller with a unique style, a comedian, a business man. (With his wife Pat, he operated Cross-Country Record Service, before selling that and creating Chicago Coun- try Records.) Jack tells us to note especially the license plates on his vehicle. He says the picture was taken when "it was a lit- tle cloudy so you can't see the moun- tains behind the buildings." The "moun- tains" are the country in Chicago, right, Jack? Jack also tells us he and Pat are the parents of three sons.

et c 4 It is significant when a club's 25th an- niversary coincides with a caller's 25th anniversary of his calling career. So the Star Righters of Michigan City, Indiana and Jim Pacholke celebrated simultaneously this fall. Jim and his wife Laverne founded the Star Righters a quarter century ago. They had danced with other clubs (Y Squares, Grand Squares and Do-si- doers) for three years, and when Jim decided to learn to call, he worked with a few friends just for the fun and ex- perience, and the club was born. Just one of the projects and special programs that typify the dynamic Star Righters is shown in the photo on this page— Jim and Laverne are posed in front of the float that made a hit at a re- cent city celebration event. Other clubs for which Jim calls are the Paws & Taws of Burns Harbor and the Twirlaways of South Bend, plus other clubs in northern Indiana and Southwestern Michigan. Club members of the Star Righters continue to perform with and for Jim at nursing homes, church groups, and one-nighters throughout the area.

As a follow-up to last month's rendition of "Northern Lights," and as long as they are still in the heavens, here is a more modern version which employs some of the basic western movements. Coy Cowan of Tampa, Florida, sent them to me right after the week we shared at Copecrest in Georgia. NORTHERN LIGHTS MUSIC: Folkkraft 1285, Blackberry Quadrille INTRO: — — — — Just the heads forward and back Forward up 'n back I say, roll your girl a half sashay Star thru across the way to look at the northern lights, hey! Go into the igloo by the door. clap your hands, clap all four — — — — Go out into the night Into the middle 'n box the gnat, square thru just like that Three-quarters round the track to look at the northern lights, hey! Go into the igloo by the door, clap your hands, clap all four — — — — Go out into the night Into the middle turn thru. allemande left with you know who A grand right eight is what you do, under the stars so bright Meet your partner halfway round, turn 'er right a right-hand round The men star left in middle of town, once around tonight Star promenade 'n hear me shout, when you're home the men back out A turn 'n a half or there about 'n all four ladies chain Turn 'em boys you're not through yet, chain 'em back across the set Don't forget to turn your pet, the heads/sides forward and back. NOTE: The dance goes through 4 times. end last time with swing at home in lieu of forward and back. The following tag from Floyd Parker's original dance may be used: TAG: Fix your goggles 'n buckle your , circle left go lickety scoot Into the middle holler 'n hoot to look at the northern lights, hey! Promenade 'em two by two, move that tunnel is what you do No. 1 couple tunnel back thru, don't look back they're following you Four 'n three you follow the lead, tunnel back thru, yes indeed When you're thru, come up tor air, promenade go round the square Home you go 'n home you prance, home you go it's end of the dance Into the middle it's your last chance to look at the northern lights, hey!

This past December I called an elegant Christmas Cotillion for Lannie and Ted McQuaide in Columbus, Ohio. I wrote the following waltz contra and dedicated it to Lannie. I affectionately named it... THE COLONEL'S LADY FORMATION: Contra (longways) Proper, with 1,3.5,etc active but not crossed over. Plenty of styling. MUSIC: A smooth flowing waltz of moderate speed. INTRO: All forward and back 1-2 Everyone go forward three steps and step-touch. 3-4 Everyone back out three steps and step-touch. 5-8 Actives pass thru and go below one. (In four waltz steps, actives pass partners by the right shoulder and go round the inactive person below.) 9-12 Active two hand turn partner half way, then turn her under to pick up the inactives just passed by. (The turn under is a left face turn for the lady under the gent's right and lady's left arm.) 13-16 Go down in four for two waltz steps, turn alone in two waltz steps. 17-20 Come back up in two waltz steps and cast off in two waltz steps. 21-24 Make a four-hand left-hand star for four waltz steps. 25-28 Come back with a right-hand star in four waltz steps. 29-32 Actives do a half figure eight around the couple above to end on the proper side. The movements are simple, the styling makes the dance!

42 American Squaredance, February 1985 The music from the film Ghostbusters was so great that I knew someone would write a routine to it. Sure enough, Pauline Camp of South Charleston, W.V., sent this solo dance to me. It was written by a member of the Unicorners S/D Club, Susan Smith. GHOSTBUSTERS FORMATION: Solo MUSIC: Ghostbusters ROUTINE: 1-8 Extend right heel diagonally forward, step on right foot beside left. Extend left heel diagonally for- ward, then step on left foot. Repeat for right foot. Repeat for right foot. 9-12 Strut forward four steps, turning '/4 right face on count 12. 13-16 Back up four steps R,L,R,L. Again this month, we highlight another of Bob 's easy level square dances. HEY LEI LEE LEI LEE MUSIC: Wagon Wheel 914 OPENER, MIDDLE BREAK, ENDING: Ladies promenade inside the ring, hey lei lee lei lee lo Come on back and your partner swing, hey lei lee lei lee lo Join hands and circle left, go walkin' round the set All the way around you go and you get back home on a heel and toe Allemande left with the corner girl, your partner swing and whirl Swing the partner round and round, promenade and everybody sing //Hey lei lee lei lee lei lee; hey lei lee lei lee 10./1 FIGURE: (Twice for head couples, twice for side couples) One and three promenade round the outside, round the ring Go all the way (around). into the middle. right hand star Turn it once around from where you are Once around and then back out and find the corner Allemande left with the corner girl, your partner do-sa-do Take your corner promenade and sing //Hey lei lee lei lee lei lee; hey lei lee lei lee lo.1/

Now they're Jerry and Marlene Hickman, and at their wedding, this lovely song was sung. They're still active square dancers, and Jerry teaches clogging in Midland. Michigan. The words and music are by Ric Maslen. Song publisher: Mastenville Music.

LOVE + DANCE = ROMANCE The Prettiest in the Country . . . and the City! It all started when Ed Fraidenburg taught a couple to square dance. Romance blossomed. Now they're Jerry and Marlene Hickman, and at their wedding, this lovely song was sung. They're still active square AIV dancers, and Jerry teaches clogging in Midland, Michigan. The words and music are by Ric Masten. SitPete Hickman's & Nancy Sherman's Song publisher: Mastenville Music. •
