Years ago when I was in high school a good friend told me about a class his uncle was taking in how to use visualization to help remember a list. Then he told me about the one his uncle used to remember the original 13 colonies in the order in which they joined the union. The fifth image is described "King George has had an accident and he has a cut upon his forehead and he has a bandaid to connect the cut" (Connecticut). It’s now 60+ years later and I still remember the whole sequence, so I decided to use the phrases as titles for some dances; this is the fifth of those dances.
