From the deviser's notes: Devised in Ithaca, New York, USA in September, 1992 and modified in June 1997. Kristin is my wife. This was the first dance I ever wrote. Note that the preferred recording (Ms Gillian McMullen Of Cambridge) is played four times through although this is a three couple set dance.
Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (3). 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.
