On a trip to the Riberac area of France in April 2007 I was told the following story by a resident New Zealander. When a girl child was born the parents planted a poplar tree which grew quickly enough so that when she was due to marry it could be chopped down and the wood sold to provide her with a dowry.
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.
