Suggested music is Fiddlin’ Round from The Devil’s Quandary.

I write dances then come up with music to determine what the dance is: reel, jig, or strathspey. Usually I know whether it is strathspey or quicktime, but often have to dance it in my head to music to find an appropriate tune and whether it is a reel or jig. This one dances to most reels and jigs; thus the name.
