G'Day, All,

Doug Mills made the following comment in reply to Martin Sheffield's
comments about Loch Leven Castle.

maybe Red House), but I put Loch Levan Castle

Of course, Red House is a flawed dance as well. Musically I am told it
should be 48 bars and the English Country Dance version has that form.

Not that the flaw destroys the pleasure of doing Red House in the (flawed)
SCD form.

Grins from me!
