2 American Sguaredance, March 1992

This month we added several additional writers to our staff. First arc Bill and Bob- bie Davis from Sunnyvale, CA who write an BY-LINE article dub Curie Right. Then we have Notes From A Veteran Caller by Mac McCullar, San Luis Obispo; and finally Jeannie Briscoe with her Tempo. We feel you will find these to be fitting additions to ASD. In addition Steve Kopman (Lee's son) adds his inspiration with Kopman's Koreo Korner. Two educators, Jack Murtha and Benjamin Bogia have written articles that we feel you will find very interesting. Ben has written some interesting facets to teaching new dancers using first class teaching methodology and Jack discusses his Diamond Square Dance Program for Schools. We also find out what "Wherefore Whither?" by Dorothy Peeler means. Don't forget to patronize our advertisers — they are important to us.

IN MEMORY OF DICK BAYER 3-20-29 to 1-6-92 Dick Bayer, talented and popular caller and businessman passed away unexpectedly on Monday, January 6th. Dick called for many clubs during his 26 years of being "on the other side of the mike''. He and his wife Marlene also taught rounds with Marlene doing the cueing. They organized many trips and called at many festivals and conventions, both in Michigan and throughout the nation. Dick was the author of many original square dance terms. The most highly recog- nized of which is "Track Two". The Bayers were members of the Michigan Square Dance Leaders Association and had served in many capacities since joining the group in 1973. He was a Past President of M.S.D.L.A. He was a constant source of knowledge encouragement and good humor. He taught Basics Classes and every level of dancing through Challenge. He had hosted and taught callers schools at his Holiday of Hartland Hall for years. It seemed that Dick thrived on sharing his abilities. Dick was also a member of the American Callers Association. Dick had been a heart patient since 1987. Dick is survived by his wife Marlene, (son) Rick and Gina Bayer, (daughters) Christina Turner, Barbara and David Walker and Martha Bayer and five grandchildren. (Michigan square Dance News, Feb '92)

I had a letter a while back from a friend of many years. Fenton "Jonsey" Jones of Glendale, CA wrote a routine to the tune of McNamara's Band. What he recorded at that time does not meter out perfectly to any music that is currently available, but I thought that with a little improvising on the part of some of you callers, you might adapt his routine to one of the current releases of the same tune, or if using live music, it should be an easy accomplishment, (Grenn recently re-released the record--Grenn 12236- however the spelling is different. They spell it MACNAMARA'S BAND). JONSEY'S MCNAMARA'S BAND INTRODUCTION: Now everybody swing your honey, you swing her high and low, It's an allemande left with your corner girl, a right hand to your own. Its a grand old right and left. you take your lady's hand (Lydes) You promenade the circle boys (Byes) to McNamara's Band. (Dancers all imitate the sound of the wind instruments while promenading to their home positions.) Such as - Tootle di da, di dot, di da da, Tottle di dot, di dot, di dot, di dot, di dat, di dottle di da.

The tune "Danny Boy" has been one loved by the Irish for many many years. Red Boot Star records released the record (RBS 1272) which fits a 64 count sequence and I have used it several times with this easy break. "DANNY BOY" 1 & 3 go forward and back. 8counts Same two couples promenade the outside track. 16 counts When you get back home, star right in the middle of the set. 8 counts Once around, find your corner, turn corner left hand round, 8 counts Dosado your partner, 8 counts Promenade your partner, 16 counts (Repeat for 2 & 4).

66 American Squaredance, March 1992 Bill Johnston of Skippack, Pa has been for many years an outstanding prompter and choreographer of contra dances. He has operated a dance hall called the Lochwood Barn, Bill and Janis retired both from their operation of the Barn and regular calling for his local groups this past December, however, he in- tends to do some writing and continue his choreographing. Thanks for all that you have done for the field of both Scottish and American dance. Following is a contra written rather recently, He calls it - - - MRS. HELEN STACK GREGG Dedicated to a gracious lady of Binghamton, N.Y., who enjoyed the friendliness of dancers, and who died in 1989, age 99. Formation: Longways, duple, improper. Music: Leisurely jig or reel, about 112 tempo. (Personally I use a Jim MacLeod recording "Burnie Boozie"). BARS: 1-4 All DSD partner (and a little more, R-h to partner to form long OW line in center of set) 5-8 Balance the line; twice 9-12 Turn partner R-h half to new U.W. line; Balance 13-16 Pass thru; wheel around (Progression) (M's R-h to W's L-h to wheel around, then join all hands on side, ready for:) 17-20 Long lines fall back; then come forward (on last step, face partner (neighbor), take closed position, ready for:) 21-24 Sashay across (W passing back to back) (dance four slow side-close steps, ending on bar 24 with quick stamp-stamp-stamp to change foot-work for return trip) 25-28 Sashay back (M passing back to back) (dance two slow side-close steps, then as back out to place in 4 steps, rnbve to open position, taking all hands on side) 29-32 Long lines: forward and back The Challenge: To anticipate arid be ready for the next figure, particularly at bars 16 and 20. If dancers do not execute these figures precisely on time, might as well not dance it because the satisfaction will be lost. It's quite late and Phyilis retired long ago, but I'm going to run this down to the post office tonight before I turn in, so that it'll go out early tomorrow morning. Catcha next month. So no matter how far you travel Or far away you roam, Go find some Square Dance people, [ RHYME And you'll feel you're right at home! TIME SWINGING RIGHT AND LEFT by T.L. Cory CURE FOR THE BLUES by Dorothy Edgerly Zimmerman Swinging right and swinging left squaring up I was a stranger in the city we do our best. And feeling rather blue, To earn a fifteen minute rest! I missed the folks back home And wondered what to do. With colored fluffy dress's Then I saw a welcome sign, and matching shirts and ties, "Square dancing here tonight," Happy smiling faces These were familiar words swing as they go by! And I knew I'd be all right You will find a lot of fun The caller smiled a greeting at the square dance in your town. As the dancers whirled around, Swinging right and left and going I began to feel less lonesome round and round! And glad I'd come to town.
