  Re: dances for 3 cpl sets? Was Re: favourite books

  We've used a medley of Wind on Loch Fyne with Ron Wallace's (or Gary
  Thomas, I forget) Muse Cottage--a 40-bar reel for 3 couples in a
  triangular formation from the "From the Redwoods" collection.  Works
  nicely, although finding a tune medley that would work could be
  tricky--we generally edit our own though.  We've also used the dance
  in medleys with dances in standard formation--transforming the sets,
  or moving the head around, can be quite interesting visually.  -Steve
