Re: [Callers] Coconut Cream Pie: easy 4-facing-4s

Tina, My error.  I haven't called APQ recently and now that I look at them side by side they are very similar.  The major differences are that APQ is a 5 part dance and the 5th part is what I always think of as the signature figure of the dance.  CCP leaves out that part and adds the CA twirl

Re: [Callers] Coconut Cream Pie: easy 4-facing-4s

Interesting, Mac. Now I wonder if we have different variations on the Quadrille, because the only difference I see between that and Coconut Cream Pie is the added B2 Bal the Ring/CA twirl that allows the dance to continue on in a contra line formation rather than being static among the same 8

Re: [Callers] Coconut Cream Pie: easy 4-facing-4s

are we thinking of the same dance?  I agree - this is a easy 4X4 and I like it - but I don't see any resemblance to Apple Pie Quadrille - which I really like to call - especially with newer dance groups.  I find it much easier than Lynn's dance. Mac McKeever

[Callers] Coconut Cream Pie: easy 4-facing-4s

Hi everyone, I had the pleasure of calling Lynn Ackerson's 4x4 "Coconut Cream Pie" for the first time last night. It was, forgive me, easy as pie for everyone to get - which I suppose was her reason for writing it as it's a simplified version of Apple Pie Quadrille. (It was also perfect for an

If you don't have the two collections of singing squares that Nils Fredland has edited, you may want to check them out. In the case of Oh Johnny, the chorus is a grand square. Here are links to the CDSS store pages for the two collections. New River Train: Singing Squares from the

Re: [Callers] Singing Calls

CDSS just published Nils Fredland's work "New River Train, Square Dances from the Collection of Keith Blackmon". There's a lot of 30s-40s-50s popular songs in that book. Living in the area, I'm certainly biased, but I would hope some of those might pick up popularity in the rest of the

Dave, I came up with that variation on my own but that doesn't make me the first to do so. To me and others the variation is pretty obvious. Tom
