Devised 20 September, 2019, but modified when danced with Johnsonville on 30th September. John is a friend who leads the Milwaukee group, and has done so for many years. This is a little note of thanks for his kindness in driving me from Milwaukee to O’Hare after I taught a class late on the night of 16th September. His favourite tune is tourbillon, and step is Strathspey.
Recommended tune is “Red Plaid” (traditional) and I particularly like the set “Red Plaid/The Iron Man/The Banks of Spey” from Peter Elmes recording of “Glenys Pearce’s Strathspey” from the Lochiel Collection. Should this not be available, I would recommended tune “Miss Janet Laing’s Strathspey” by Nan Main, and either of the society’s recordings for book 22 would be good. Failing that use any reasonable recording of “The Balmoral Strathspey”.
