+Music: A Health to Betty from Playford 1651 with added B phrase by Chris Sackett\\
+Teaching Points:\\
+Al and 2: As you face partner to set you may keep the inside hands you led up or down with
+(especially at slower tempo).\\
+Zig Zag at top and bottom of longways: After the first zig zag you end facing out the top or
+bottom; turn individually toward partner to face back in (bars 5-6) and wait for the others to
+complete their second zig zag (bars 7-8). If you are at the top, you may then do the figure of 8\\
+We wrote this for Betty Shotliff, longtime member of Heather and Rose Country Dancers, on the
+occasion of her 90" birthday. She danced it — and many other dances that evening. We taught it
+that evening at the slower tempo and keeping hands while setting; it works equally well at a
+faster tempo.
