	Hi, Martin,
	Again I'm puzzled.  Were you not taught how to dance small 
for the sake of good phrasing?   :~)    Of course I understand you have 
said you don't like to slow in the Schiehallion reels.  To me, dancing 
all one pace takes half the pleasure out of the dance with the lack of 
subtle phrasing.  That's why I pass LSh in Marie's Wedding.:~) ^^


	Regards,  Ron
