For Steve Zakon-Anderson, who has called, organized, and composed many
wonderful dances, many of them in Peterborough NH. The dance borrows its A1
from Steve's well-known "Trip to Lambertville" (and Peter Lippincott's "Snake
River Reel"), and was premiered in Peterborough at the 2002 Fall Ball.


NOTES:

The middle of the A2 is essentially a 1/4 hey. It works best if the women take
a half step right to line up across from each other while the men are in the
middle.

After the neighbor swing in B2 the women appreciate a firm right hand from the
men to push off from as they head into the center.
