Notes
Notes
1
Ken Sheffield says: The instruction 'foot it' in the original has been translated as 'two rant steps' which will suffice until time or circumstance restores the genuine.
2
Michael Barraclough says: The original dance is called Butter'd Pease and Ken Sheffield has added the 'Wright' (and dropped the 'e'). The original is a triple minor and Ken Sheffield has condensed it to duple minor and changed it significantly".
