John,

I am glad to hear you enjoy the dance and hope the original tune used is
just as enjoyable - after all it was composed by a great box player!!!!!

You may also be interested to know that the CD for Book 45 also holds 'A
World First' title in that it was the very first CD to be recorded using a
'digital' accordion rather than the usual acoustic accordion. The instrument
used on the recording is a Roland FR7. Who says the RSCDS are behind the
times? On this occasion they were very definitely at the forefront of
technology!
