Other Notes: This dance was written for Pattie Whitehurst. The figures  
seem to fit Fair Jenny's Jig or Irish jig-to-reel combinations, and  
some say the dance feels best after a dinner of corned beef and cabbage.

Note timing on circle (actually six steps, so sashay starts on beat 7);
sashay, passthrough - not usual.

Last time through, "and keep on swinging!"
