<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Thank you, Amy! I used it tonight at a wild church party, calling it Zombie Escape. This was a record dance, so I used the track of Brisk Young Lads that the Canterbury made
for CDSS in the 1970s. It’s a jig in A minor like Coleraine, so it worked perfectly.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
