Author's Notes:
Many years ago I met Amy Richardson at a Brattleboro Dawn Dance. We danced Rory O'More together (yeah, THAT many years ago!) and Amy said "I'll be up there on that stage playing fiddle soon".) I said that I hope to be up there calling and playing too. All that has come true. Yay! In the winter of 2001 I called a dance and played bass with Amy and Roberta Sutter at Dover, NH, City Hall. I wrote this dance outside the Indian Restaurant before the dance.
The dance uses the "progression" in Gene Hubert's "The Dance Gypsy", but the hook in this dance is the star to long wave figure. The Rory O'More figure is ALWAYS done with the same people (i.e.: Partner, Shadow #1 and Shadow #2).
This dance is from American Country Dances On Line
