| Suggested music is Cumberland Square from The Macadians Play Burns Night in the Annapolis Valley. (This is the only 2X64 reel I have in my collection, but it seems to work well. I also noticed that 4X32 reels work as well, in particular Alloway Kirk Rant from the same CD.) |
| This dance is written for Maureen and Andrew Pettigrew who are leaving our dance group and moving to Durham, North Carolina. |
