Six Pass Thru - Tony Parkes
Creator: Tony Parkes
Tony Parkes, caller. Recorded at Dare To Be Square, Brasstown, NC, November 19, 2011. Musicians for this session were Steve Hickman and Jim Morrison, fiddles; Claudio Buchwald, piano; and Sam Bartlett, banjo. The tune is "Woodchopper's Reel" (aka Pea Soup Reel).
Although this dance (written by Tony Parkes) uses traditional basics and is called in phrased New England style, it is a blend of two sequences borrowed from callers associated with the modern square dance movement. The first half of the figure comes from a break used by Dick Leger on a Sets in Order "sound documentary" LP and presumably written by him. The second half comes from "Queen's Quadrille" by Jerry Helt.
