Last year the 200th anniversary of Hull's Victory

Today marks the 200th for the battle of Sacket's Harbor (second of 2
anyway) so consider adding it to your program in the next week. I
called it last weekend to an enthused crowd.
And you can get the English dancers in the crowd intrigued by telling
them that it's essentially Trip to Tunbridge turned sideways. The
T-to-T tune segues pretty nicely out of Steamboat Quickstep if you want
a fun musical trivia moment.
