(Are you on this list, Marian?) Given that the author is unknown, it's possible that the true title is also unknown (i.e., that "A Walk in the Park" was simply a name that Marian attached to the sequence). My notes indicate that Suzanne Girardot also called it, but under the name "Carousel". (But it's certainly not the dance of that name by Tom Hinds, nor the one by Don Flaherty.) (It's 3/4 the same as another dance I have, "Wobbler's Jig" by Tim Gerard, collected in 1994 from Marian again.) Does anyone have better information on this sequence? Note that it might originally have been longways rather than Sicilian. -Michael
