Kissing Cousins in London

[billeyler]

Back in '94, I was one of a group of gay square dancers that had made contact with the owners of "The Bell," a gay bar in London to plant the seeds of a gay square dance club there.  A small group got started and haphazardly met for a couple of years then was gone with the wind.

Danny mentioned tonight that we should learn a dance called The Gay Gordons.  I looked it up on the net and the first link I found was this. 

So close to what we are, yet so far...hope this group survives and thrives!

Chorus
A Gordon for me, a Gordon for me,
If ye're no a Gordon ye're no use to me.
The Black Watch** are braw, the Seaforths** and a'
But the cocky wee Gordon's the pride o' them a'.

Exactly. I looked up the derivation of the term Gay Gordons. :-)
