Longways duple minor
Waltz time; 2bar phrases in As, 4 bar in Bs, turbulent As
"Midnight on the Water" PLAYED AAB

Tried it in duple at Woodshed 3/14/2018.  Blue Jig is the wrong tune, but it's
pretty danceable, and we got a solid "catch" at B2 beat 1.
Woodshed 8/2025: "Rollicking Boys of Tondagree" was a win.


A1: 1-2 take crossed hands, balance forward and back (windows)
    3-4 and two hand turn half way 
    5-6 first corner people in second corner places, HITW cross
    7-8 others HITW cross

A2: 1-8: repeat to home (the other people will cross first)

B1: 1-4 1s lead up (through previous 2s) and cast down WHILE
        2s cast down and lead up
    5-8 with current neighbors, mirror back to back 
        (1s through the middle first

B2: 1-4: same four circle left 1x
    5-8: taking crossed hand promenade hold with partner;
         travel halfway round circle to progressed place *while turning* 
         to finish facing new neighbors

I started thinking about this while trying to keep from falling asleep during
the rather dreary opening of "The Sign of The Cross", part of a Claudette
Colbert double bill at the Stanford, and not a patch on the compelling
"Cleopatra".  Claudette's Waltz?  2/11/2018

Also, would this be jolly fun in a close enough Sicilian Circle?

Notes: Not good if you don't like eye contact.  It's possible not to open the
windows.  Pretty as a costume waltz, though historically bogus.
