I've been a huge fan of Gordon Lightfoot's music since 1968. The title of this dance is the second line in one of my favorite songs "Pussywillows, Cattails." I wrote this dance shortly after hearing of his passing at the age of 84. Note: when we danced it we realized people can get confused with both set and link for 3 couples and set and rotate for 3 couples, but once they keep them straight it flows beautifully.
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).

Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.
