Re: [Callers] A Walk In The Park - Contra Callers

9 Oct 2013

   I see that Tom published his dance in 1991 in his book "Dance All Night
   2". I can't say when I wrote the dance down that I have, but it could
   very well have been before that date since I've been calling since
   1981. However, I have no problem with two different types of dances
   with the same name!

   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.
