For Yaeko Yasoshima of Yokosuka "Yae" can be translated as "folded eight times" but I believe her name means "a flower with eight petals". lt may be her name that has made her a versatile lady. Unfortunately the name of the CD is misspelt as Mrs Eightford.
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.
