The Wild Woman from Chicagoland (2016)

This dance is a variation of "The Wild Woman from North Carolina" by Bill Olson that I developed as a tribute to my wife, Dela Murphy.  It is also similar to "Wild Women of Northern Massachusetts" by Ron Blechner.   In all three dances,the circle-rollaway-circle-rollaway figure in A2 is danced as one flowing movement.
