The schedule, tour assignments, and driving directions will probably be of most interest to attendees, but there's no need to print anything, as these will be provided at the Ale. Of more importance are the directions to camp. No bridges when last checked, so there shouldn't be any unexpected detours to deal with this year. See you all soon.... 4356@http://bassett-street-hounds.org/news/ Ale 2007-07-22T11:05:41-05:00 http://bassett-street-hounds.org/news/archives/2007/07/004355.php Hounds' dances for Syracuse Arts & Crafts Festival (8-July-2007) Dancers: Dan, John, Julie, Mike, Nanci, Pete, Susan, Venera Musicians: Laurel SET 1 Alexandra PRSDn22.5 - 1 long stick - rectangle/6 Durham Rangers: A(ABB)4AB: FG | ABAF A2 de | fgef d3 A | Rounds, Interlocks, Solar-System, Spaghetti-Junction, Rounds John, Susan, Venera, Mike, *Pete*, Dan The Drunken Idiot - 1 short stick - mixed/4 The Idiot: (ABCD)3: G/2A/2 | Bd dc/2B/2 ((3AGA) BD | Rounds, Linear-Hey/Square-Hey, Linear-Bombast/Square-Bombast Dan, Venera, Pete, Mike Shepard's Hey (participatory) Northumberland Gypsy - 1 long stick - progressive rectangle/6 Rakes of Mallow: AB(ABB)4: G2 B2 G2 B2 | G2 B2 cBAG | J-Bone Hey, Square-Hey, Cotswold-Hey, Out-Out-Damn-Spot 1-*Mike*, 2-Dan, 3-Susan, 4-Nanci, 5-Julie, 6-Pete ====== SET 2 Northern Star- 1 long stick - pentagon/6 Donkey Ride AB(ABB)3: E G B B/B/ | c A B B/B/ | Stars, Chevron-Swing, Parallel-Heys C-*Pete*, 1-Dan, 2-Susan, 3-John, 4-Julie, 5-Venera The Belligerent Bluejay - 1 long stick - square/4 Carpathian Tune: (AABB)2AA: GFE2 F2G2 | E8 | EFGA B2B2 | Linear Bombast/Linear Hey, Square Hey/Solar System Dan, *Julie*, Mike, Pete Constant Billy (participatory) Morningstar - 2 short sticks - square/4 Morningstar: A(AB)3A: GA | BcBG E2 FG | ABAF D2 GA | Pairs, U-Hey, Lines, Line-Hey, (reorient) Pairs, Hey-Across, Lines John, Susan, Julie, *Pete* ====== SET 3 Just in Time - 1 long stick - triangle of 5 Charles O'Connor: (AABB)3AA: A | d2A d2A | BAG FGA | Zigzag-Hey, Allemande-Hey, Wallaby-Hey 1-Susan, 2-Mike, 3-Nanci, 4-*Julie*, 5-Dan I Can Hew - 1 long stick - mixed/4 I Can Hew: Square-Hey, Hey-in-Line, Cross-and-Swing, Bombast Mike, John, *Pete*, Dan Shepard's Hey (participatory) Mr Dolly - 2 short sticks - square/4 George Green's College Hornpipe: A(AB)4A: ((3DEF) | G>BA>G F2 ((3DEF) | Cross&Swing, J-Loops, Mini-Brook, Dragonsbane John, Susan, Venera, *Julie*... 4355@http://bassett-street-hounds.org/news/ Dances 2007-07-05T13:32:32-05:00 http://bassett-street-hounds.org/news/archives/2007/06/004353.php Our friend, Dave Stryker, died in his sleep this morning after a long bout with cancer.
