+This nice tune seems to be crying out for a good dance. However, the instructions
+below either do not work or else need a seriously careful edit to indicate how to
+make the figures fit the music. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifBdjYATlnw
+for how things go wrong. As far as I know, the original instructions were taken
+from the CD liner notes of //Dance and Danceability//. --- //[[nashjc]] 2017/11/25 16:00//
+A second version (below) based on adaptation by the Ottawa
+English Dance Club on Nov 24, 2017, gave plenty of smiles to the Assembly Players
