---A dance commissioned by Amber Roullard for her wedding to Jim
Mueller, September 10, 1994.Amber and Jim, both great old time fiddlers,
are the central figures of the Growling Old Geezers, from San Luis
Obispo, CA. Amber asked for a circle mixer, because when people
Promenade past the band she can check out who's there!The Balances give
even more opportunity.It's fun to tell this little story, because, then
when dancers are promenading, they often take a look at the band, and
that's rare!
