I wrote The Tom Senior Reel because Tom wanted a dance with mirror reels of four. When we danced it, he asked if I would write a strathspey with mirror reels of four, so the dancers had time to enjoy the reels.
Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (4). A yellow background means a recording with one of the recommended tunes but a non-standard number of repetitions. Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.
