Both on bars 12 and 16 1W and 3M pass Lsh and face R into the next half reel.  There is a variant where they pass a tight Lsh 3/4 round each other and face L; they thus change roles in the half reel across for [12-16].  From then on the variants are identical again. Eric Ferguson, march 2015. 

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.

Recordings whose titles are in italics are not explicitly linked to this dance but have been identified by the database based on the type, bar count, and recommended tune(s) of the dance.
