A number of beginners, including my parents, who were visiting and wanted to hear me call. So what do you do when the final fifth square to form needs one more person, or else seven people will sit out, one of whom's your mother? You join in, and try calling a square while dancing and watching all four others. An interesting experience, and there were even survivors.
"Frederick Contra" was the first calling experience at a regular evening for our new caller, Justin Kauker. He did a good job, and he's on track to have a good future ahead of him.

A mixer written to add a simple roll-away, as prep for a square dance break that I wound up not using. While it's an okay dance, the timing in the A2 makes it trickier than it should be.
Named after "Vintage Reel" by Ted Sannella.
