Scratch Paper Contra
a duple improper contra by David Kirchner

A1
Gypsy neighbor; meltdown to swing (16)

A2
Hey, start actives left shoulder (16)

B1
Actives half figure eight above (8)
Actives begin contra corners

B2
Actives finish contra corners (8)
Actives swing; end facing down (8)

Notes: Never called. I believe this was an attempt to write a dance with both a contra corners and a hey that was different from Ed Shaw's Dancing Sailors. The title derives from the fact that I found this dance jotted down on scrap paper two years after it was composed.
