Corstorphine Fair

Jan. 24, 2002, 7:55 a.m. (Message 29256)

We recently danced Corstorphine Fair, a 4C Jig by M. Hunter.  The only 
source given by Dancedata is Pilling.

Does anyone know the original instructions?  The Pilling version is 
curiously asymmetrical, in that 1W uses "easy hands" when making the 
three crossings to reach the bottom (bars 17-22), while in the similar 
movement in bars 25-30  1M uses "awkward hands", forcing him to make 
loops.  One would expect "easy hands" both times.

Happy dancing,

Eric
