Thread-topic: [tg] Material difficulty level

I find the Julie material too hard, and I'm not interested in the Friday the 13^th material. Seems like that is what tg is interested in doing for much of the night currently. Which is fair enough. I'll be doing other things for a bit as I didn't enjoy the last two weeks.

My preference is also to start easier for maybe 2 tips, then do some harder material in the middle and maybe end with an easier/dancier tip (or Winchester?).

I think I pretty much agree with this.

I'm not a great judge of the difficulties of different venues, but if we
want more material, both https://krubow.com/Recordings/Recordings.html and
https://challengedance.org/recordings/c4.html seem to have a variety of C4
material, including from sometime in the last decade. My impression is
that Keith's site isn't getting new recordings, but the recordings on
there can still be acquired. Coop's site looks to be heavily Julie's and
Berkshires, but there's a bunch of other stuff too.

It also looks like, from the late teens, I have various of C-Gulls,
Extravaganza, Importers, and Jane dances, that I got from Lotta.
