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.
The middle of the A2 is essentially a 1/4 hey. It works best if the ladies take a half step right to line up across from each other while the gents are in the middle.
After the neighbor swing in B2 the ladies appreciate a firm right hand from the gents to push off from as they head into the center.
