Suggested music is The 25th Reel from Celebrate 50 Years with the Boston Branch.

This dance is named for the signature tune for the television show Capt'n Kangaroo, which was popular when I was young. An insurance company started using it in a commercial and its familiarity drove me nuts until I figured out from where I knew the tune.
