How does Morning Star go?
--- end of quote ---

You'll find it in the appendix to Cracking Chestnuts, as well as in the syllabus
from the 2009 Ralph Page Dance Legacy Weekend.

But wait! There's more! Since the 2009 syllabus isn't on line yet, enterprising
callers will look in the Index to the various RPDLW syllabi and discover that it
was also called in 2004 and 1994.

The latter isn't online-- too early-- but sure enough, here it is from 2004:

Morning Star
Source: Country Dance Book
Formation: Contra, duple proper

A1- Actives give right hands, balance and
swing
A2- Actives give left hands, balance and
reverse swing (swing
counterclockwise)
B1- Actives down the center, turn alone
Return, cast off
B2- Right and left four

I go into this at such length, rather than just providing the directions, to
remind everyone that the Index is a useful companion to all of David Smukler's
(and editors before him) efforts at organizing and making the syllabus of each
weekend available. They're tremendous resources, not just for classic contras
and squares but for more contemporary material as well.

If you don't already have the Index on your computer, you can locate it here:

http://www.library.unh.edu/special/index.php/ralph-page-dance-legacy-weekend

And of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't put in a plug for Cracking Chestnuts,
which not only gives directions for many of these classic dances but also
provides detailed commentary about-- background history, teaching challenges and
suggestions, opportunities that can be suggested to dancers, and much more.

Morning Star   Duple proper
There are several chunes that go by Morning Star.  But you can use either jig or reel.  When Page recorded it with Folk Dancer Records, he used Rory O'More of all things, played by Dick Richardson, Jr Richardson and John Twombley.  Dick played it as we know it, but Johnny choded it all in major...did not go into minor for the B musics.  Furthermore, they played it on the key of G.  Salty.

A1: Active cpls right hand to partner, bal & sw
A2: Left hand bal, swing again.  Some callers would say, Swing the other way
B1:  Down the center and back
B2: Cast off, R&L     (or R hnd Star, and left hand star)
