I was browsing through my square dance library a short while back and came across two very useful dances that I have used for years, but couldn't remember where I had gained the concept. Well, I finally found the sources; they came from a book entitled, "Quick-Teach Fun Dances For Recreational Groups" by Jack and Helen Todd.

The late Don Armstrong told me that after it was recorded, somebody in the band asked what the new number would be called and one of the band members replied "God knows what" and henceforth the title, "GKW".

The late Ralph Page, one of New England's favorite contra prompters wrote a great many real easy contra dances, but he had the flair of tossing in a few routines that would really make you think. What fond memories I have of Ralph, a very subtle man with a wonderful sense of.humor.
