OPENER - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
I'm bringing home some good news baby
Got some things you'll be glad to hear
Like I'm leaving town and I'll be back around
Just long enough to get my gear

4 ladies chain, go cross that ring now
Chain on home and promenade round you do
This is the end, we're through, it's over
Yeah, I'm bringing home good news


FIGURE    A1, corner progression

Heads lead right and then you circle
You make a line, go up and back
Touch 1/4 my friend, triple scoot and then
Boys run right and do the right & left thru
Pass thru, trade by, left allemande now
Swing your own and promenade around you do
This is the end, we're through, it's over
Yeah, I'm bringing home good news


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

4 ladies chain across that ring now
Turn and chain 'em home you know
Join your hands and circle left my friend
Left allemande and weave that ring you know
*There won't be any goodbye kisses
Swing your own and promenade around you do
This is the end, we're through, it's over
Yeah, I'm bringing home good news
