I guess I'll find a come-back-cozy-to-cloverleaf to use - but I don't think or easily see any with a GREEN or "luck of the Irish" or... in the title. Heck - I guess I could even use Snakes. I won't go overboard - but some acknowledgement seems in order. Besides wearing a green skirt!

Linda Leslie Saint Paddy's Day Kirston Koths Type: Contra Formation: Duple-Improper Level: Int A1 ----------- (16) Neighbors balance and swing A2 ----------- (8) Ladies chain (8) Long lines go forward and back (star left better?)

The figures seem to fit Fair Jenny's Jig or Irish jig-to-reel combinations, and some say the dance feels best after a dinner of corned beef and cabbage. And this one, by Martha. I have called this one, and dancers seem to have enjoyed it! However, I believe the Paddy of the title is a cat....
