For the members of the New York Branch to mark the 25th Pawling Weekend. In his footnote to the dance Drewry writes: The title was chosen to teach the New York Branch Newsletter writers that they were not the only ones who could play with words. They suggested that I only deserved a "Dee" grade for many of my dances! Those who find the title truly "appalling" may use "THE BIG APPLE" as an alternative.
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.
