Robert's Notes:

"Written and first called on Sunday, September 5, 1993, the last day of the first annual Harvest Moon Festival, put on by the Greenville, SC contra dance group. Intended to be done as a medley. I usually start with an unrelated dance, then change to Moon Dance, then after a few times do Sun Dance, and finally alternate between the two. I know of callers who walk through both dances, then alternate between them throughout. I like the surprise factor. Callers: watch out for the beginning of the B2 -- the dances are different."
