'StateBlock' object has no attribute 'is_code_block'
The original description states: With thanks to Brian Forbes of the Birmingham Branch, RSCDS, whose "chain" progression is the best new thing in Scottish country dancing since the Rondel.

However, the Strathspey 'Ailsa Craig' and Jig 'Glen Mor' from the 'Birmingham Book' from 1973 that introduce the 'Chain Progression' were written by Eric Forbes, not Brian. (There are no dances known to date written by a Brian Forbes.)

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.
