OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
*I had an uncle, name of Matthew, he was his father's only boy;
Born just south of Colby, Kansas

Left allemande and weave the ring
Joy was just a thing that he was raised on
Love was just a way to live and die
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheat field
Blue was just the Kansas summer sky


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*And all the stories that he told me back when I was just a lad;
All the memories that he gave me


*And so I wrote this down for Matthew, it's for him this song is sung;
Riding on his daddy's shoulders


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression

Heads promenade go halfway
Walk in and pass the ocean wave
Extend and then recycle, reverse flutter wheel
Veer to the right and ferris wheel
Into the middle and centers pass thru now
Swing the corner girl and you promenade
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheat field
Blue was just the Kansas summer sky


TAG

Gold was just a windy Kansas wheat field
Blue was just the Kansas summer sky
