Legit, Bob Isaacs grows some of the best cherry tomatoes I’ve eaten in my entire life—y’all need to get yourselves to the Princeton, NJ contra dance some time when it’s tomato season.
Idk what ContraDB is up to in the A1 but there’s no such thing as “3rd 1st neighbors”.

Listen, as a dancer, I can only screw up Jacqui Grennan’s Undercurrent so many times in a single night before I give up and write a version with a second pass the ocean in it.
You could gentlespoons allemande 1.5x in the A2 to make things more symmetrical if you wanted, but wouldn’t you rather just swing your partner instead?
