Presented at "Downey Day of Dance, 2018". Given to Helen Brown for all her work for the York Branch and her (and Malcolm's) hospitality to Kristin and me. Recommended music is "The Bob O' Dowally", and either of the recordings for Book 2 by Bobby Crowe would be good. Lacking this a strong strathspey should be used (not an air).
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.
