So Jack's email made me think about the old days touring with Scrod Pudding and T-Acadie and our normal Tuesday stop at the Vintage theater in Winston. George would pretty much always be the first to arrive and help us load in. Last to leave too. He was always fun to watch from the stage with hi

I plan to call it on Friday in Charlottesville and also on Sunday evening in Winston Salem at the Salem College dance. So strange to think about calling a dance in the Triad without George being there. And if your group of dancers isn't up to Dean's dance, A Nice Combination would also be great t

Hi, Hannah! I very much second Alex Deis-Lauby's recommendations. The difficulty in a contra corners figure in contra formation is two-fold: the out-of-minor-set interaction and the short allemandes. If you can get the dancers to do short allemandes earlier in the evening and use a dance without

Bill, The dance is at the end of Emily’s email. Note that it is in “indecent” formation and a little tricky. As was our dear George. Bree On Fri, Feb 22, 2019 at 11:15 AM Bill Olson via Callers < callers@lists.sharedweight.net> wrote: > Oh this is so sad.. "Suspenders George" was a good friend a

Hi Rich, Closest I have is a William Watson version of Bob Dalsemer's Dog Branch Reel. William's version has the "coach and horses" return and cloverleaf circle. Also, Chris Page's NEWSreel has a whole set promenade and back in B1, but is otherwise identical. Regards, Greg On Fri, Feb 22, 201

Oh this is so sad.. "Suspenders George" was a good friend and one of my very favorite dancers when we toured down that way. George was always friendly and always helpful. And he sure was a great "dipper".. Please forward the Dean Snipes dance and I will call it next chance I get!! bill in Maine

Hi all, George Rettie, the NC dancer in the yellow ruler suspenders, passed away unexpectedly this week. He'd been dancing since at least the 1980's, and it was a rare dance that he didn't attend. He was always the first to volunteer (and did, more hours than I can count), personally thanked the mu
