BOB a0WEI.J...

Henry Garfath of Winchester, England continues to send me great materials for one-night-stand and easy-level dances. I had mentioned to him that I liked solo circle dances. He wrote right back to me that the following one has become a firm favourite with the dancers at (a local dance area) Durley. He states that "it is a version of San Antonio Stroll, but can't remember where I acquired it, but I've found it goes really well to its eponym as recorded by Tanya Tucker. I came across the track on a CD called "the Most Awesome Line Dancing Album 3" (rather like "the ultimate weapon mark II" I suppose!) MFP 7243 4 99422 2 6".

Although this is the way we do it at Durley, one of the merits of the dance is that it can also be danced as couples or in larger groups (same sex or mixed) as "Ten Pretty Girls".

I've reviewed all records sent this month, plus a few that I didn't have time for last month.

I Saw Her Standing There - GMP-986 Jerry Jestin I was thirteen when the Beatles took America by storm and in 1964 when this tune became a huge hit, I was bowled over hike most teens-much to the chagrin of my parents because that's all they heard from thereafter. Adapted to square dancing with that energetic GMP sound, this tune is pure energy and lots of fun. How many octaves are you good for when you singthe tagline? Grand Square to open, and break. 7'henlids(Sds) Prom. 3/4, Sds (Hds) Square Thru 3, All Circle to a Line, Touch 1/4, Column Circ., Boys Run, All Pass 7'hru, Allemande Left Come back one and Promenade!

Tennessee Waltz - ESP-1055 Mac Letson Here's a pretty piece of music. We're all familiar with the melody - this one also comes with a nice mellow ESP sound. Guitar and banjo provide the leads for an enjoyable piece. Key change in the closer. Hds(Sds) Square Thru 4, RAL, Swing Thru, Boys Run, Ladies Hinge, Flip the Diamond, Swing Thru, Turn Thru, Allemande Left, come back one and Promenade!

Shake Like An Earthquake - HH-5248 Dan Nordbye This one's a departure from the usual High Hat Sound-kind of a big band, boogie woogle, rock 'n' roll number. Fun sound with a heavy bass line, horns and organ for melody. Strange as it sounds, this makes for a different hoedown sound. Check it out! lids (Sds) Square Thru 4, Do Si Do, Swing Thru, Boys Run, Bend the Line, RcEL Thru, Pass The Ocean, Recycle, Corner Swing and Promenade!

American Pie - RYL-325 Jerry Story & Tony Oxendine Some songs don't adapt well to our form of music and dance. This cover pulls it off well with a quiet singing intro before the dance starts and then a fine semi relaxing melody to cover the dance action. A nice memory as this tune is and was the cornerstone of my youth. Solid percussion line with harmonica, mandolin and fiddle for melody. Standard Ferris Wheel Figure.

62 American SquareDance, March 2001 Midwest Caller School Marshall, Ml June 10 - 15, 2001 17' Consecutive Year of Caller Training Happy For New 22 Experienced Callers St Patty's Staff Day!

IN 467043-3114 Dick Duckham; 616-781-5914 Stan Burdick - School Co-founder

It Must Be Love - ESP-924 Steve Kopman A total relaxer with a minimalistic melody and a quiet presentation. Good closer for an evening if you like to do that or a fine way to settle a floor after a very active tip. Hds (Sds) Square Thru 4, Do Si Do, Swing Thru, Spin The Top, Square Thru 3, Chase Right, Writer Swing and Promenade!

Don't Make Me Come Over There And Love You - CRC-149 Steve Jacques Tongue in cheek lyrics, a steady percussion line and a punctuated instrumental make for an energetic piece with a Cha Cha flair. This piece showed up on a CD, but I'm assuming that it's coming on vinyl when callers are ready to order. Hds(Sds) Promenade 1/2, Sds(Hds) R&L Thru, Square Thru 4, Do Si Do, 8 Chain 4, Corner Swing & Promenade!

Finally Friday - GRIP-909 Darryl Lipscomb TGIF is the base philosophy for this happy tune. Time to shake it loose for the weekend. Signature GMP sound and energy make for some happy dancing, but look out for Monday, 'cause you know it's going to come! Hds (Sds) Star Thru, Double Pass Thru, Centers In, Cast off 3/4, Pass Thru, Bend The Line, F&B, Star Thru, Centers Pass Thru, Slide Thru, Square Thru 3, Corner swing and Promenade!

Stay A Little Longer / Rhythm Sticks - C-124 Hoedown A double sided hoedown which is always a good value. Stay A Little Longer is a boom chukka hoedown with some fiddle, some banjo and a very musically steady piece to call to. Rhythm Sticks ups the ante with a brighter piece of music with a great crisp banjo, more drive and those interludes with what else? — Rhythm Sticks!! Sharp in sound and a great way to give your dance a lift!

Caller, Poet, Rhyming and Friends

I'm a square dance caller, of that I am proud, Although some times they say my music's too loud.

I can't help myself, the music's so fine, It's almost like sipping delicious red wine.

The rhythm is steady, the phrasing so great, Like the times when my wife and I used to date.

.Just holding her hand was filled with romance, Walking together was like having a dance.

The music is great, all the dancers are friends, They laugh at mistakes and applaud when it ends.

I can't help myself, the rhythm and phrase, Leaves me in a happy, euphoric daze.

So if you dance when I'm calling, remember my friend, I'm happy to do this right to the end.

A special tribute to a wonderful lady, my wife, Joan. Don Niva Madison WI

A Trick With Numbers You will have fun with the number stunt: Ask a friend to write down his/her age. Then ask them to double it. Then add five, and multiply the answer by fifty. From this amount subtract the number of days in a year (365). The next step is for them to count the change in their pocket or purse, (any amount under $1.00), and add this amount to the last answer. To this total add 115. Without looking at the total, inform them that (1) the first two figures of the answer will be their age, and (2) the last two figures of the total will he the amount of change they had. It works every time — if no mistakes are made! Sunshine Magazine 80 American SquareDance, March 2001 WHAVS AHEAD
