Written for Don Nemiroff on the occasion of his 60th birthday. In the six bars 27-32, the 1st couple are tracing the shape of mirrored 6's, while in bars 33-40, the six dancers inscribe the shape »0«. The two figures together honour Don's big day. The description suggests »Snow in Summer« from the Berkeley Scottish Players album, »A Camp of Pleasure«.
Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (8). 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.
