Subject: RE: Tune ID Req: Oklahoma Mixer
Thanks, John. Probably it's not an Oklahoma dance at all. The FOLK DANCE FEDERATION OF CALIFORNIA page linked to above says:
This dance was taught by Rev. Larry Eisenberg at the Pacific Recreation Laboratory School, Asilomar. California, September 1947. This progressive type dance is popular in the Southwest, particularly Texas. The title "Oklahoma Mixer" is used here because the present version was learned in Norman, Oklahoma.
