| The only transition which might need attention is moving from the men's do-si-do to the long lines forward and back. New dancers don't find this any more challenging than any other parts of the dance, and experienced dancers can make it feel good. | The only transition which might need attention is moving from the men's do-si-do to the long lines forward and back.

| + | |||
| + | My favorite first dance of an evening is Don Armstrong's "Broken Sixpence," because it is gentle and intuitive for beginners and enjoyable for everyone. I used the dance so much, though, I feared dancers would grow tired of it. After searching for other, similar dances and finding none, I wrote this one to provide some variety. Fred Todt suggested the title, following the "Sing a Song of Sixpence" nursery rhyme and a recently developed interest in birding. I have since become equally fond of Bob Isaacs' "A Pocketful of Rye" as a first dance of a program for more experienced dancers.\\ | ||
| + | Along with "Ramsay Chase," this dance is also republished here from The Cardinal Collection, which is almost out of print. This simple dance may be my best composition. I like the English dance feel when combined with Daron Douglas' compelling tune, "Yellow Song," which is on the companion CD. | ||
