Hello All,
One I used to call years ago is “Whistling Thief”, danced to the tune of the same name, a
40 bar jig. I believe the dance is by Debbie Low who is/was married to fiddler Vinnie
Tufo. It is a fairly easy dance, but has an unusual “B” part. A1 and A2 are 8 bars. B1 and
B2 are 10 bars with a short swing-balance-swing at the end of each B. The late Bob
Hubbach of the Ruffwater Stringband played it a lot.
