Title: dedicated to Orly Krasner who, on the above date, mentioned my enormous "oover" (body of work) on the ECD discussion site. It is a Dyson upright, though I never thought it was that big!  Anyway, here's the latest home-made extension for it. The title seemed appropriate, in the sense that some callers feel as if they would be dicing with death by even thinking of calling one of my dances.     I'm leaving Orly to find a favourite tune (phrased 4, 8, 4 throughout?) to enhance her enjoyment of this dance.
