Note: If you wish to do the dance as a contra dance, leave out
the 1/4 turn on the second grapevine. This will allow the
lines to pass each other on the shuffles.
The music for this dance is out of print by both artists, but
any medium swing tempo will work. This is an older dance that
saw a revival because of the movie "Thelma and Louise".
