John Drewry wrote in the original description that the dance was for Bob Millar of Toronto, Ontario. The progression in Bars 25-32 is similar to that in the reel "Lochside" by Jackie Johnstone of Dumfries.
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.
