(Comment by ??: “Wish we knew the rest of it!” ??: “I do, too.” ??: “Well, there was eight couples. And then this first couple would go up to that couple . . . and they’ll lead up two and balance four. Balance is they’re just a-dancing all that time. And then they four hands around. And then they’ll dosey-do. And then four hands around. Then they lead up to the next couple, and that’s . . . I can’t think what they do there.”) |
