Ron writes that this dance was first tried out at a dance party in a house called Cornfields–hence the name. “Heather wrote this lovely, dreamy tune for the dance and I liked the idea of gleaners gathering up discarded and unwanted dreams.“

A gleaner is a person who gathers small amounts of something, either slowly and carefully, or in a laborious way.
