Well, I picked up "The Encyclopedia of Ball Juggling" over the weekend from
Ben of Serious Juggling.  It really is a nice book.  I decided I'd try learning
Burkes Barrage from it first, since I had had trouble learning it from "Beyond
the Cascade."

After about half an hour, it clicked so that I could do about 4 cycles, and I
figured I was on my way.  But today, while searching for "Dancey" in the JIS, I
came upon this article:

If you think you know what Burke's Barrage is supposed to be, let's hear about
it.  I don't think Paul Meathrel can be completely correct in calling the pattern
from the book "Mills Mess with takeouts" because the pattern it describes is 423
rather than simply 3 as in Mills Mess.  But Dancey definitely says the ball is
carried around the pattern rather than through it.
