Jim Saxe answered most of Ralph's questions, but I'm happy to post the
moves for Fast Living:

Fast Living, by David Kirchner
4-facing-4 or 'Portland Fancy' formation

A1
Fwd and back in lines of 4
Ladies grand chain to diagonally opposite gent
A2
Hey for four along the lines of four
B1
Balance and swing one you courtesy turned in A1
B2
Gents left hand star 1/2
Swing partner, face original direction

Hey in A2 is across the hall, i.e. perpendicular to direction of
progression. I've also seen it folk-processed into an up and down the hall
hey. Watch for gents to have trouble orienting to find the star in B2.

 David asked about dances with an English accent.  Following is one I  think
 meets his criteria, mentions David and his great dance Fast Living,  and
 remembers wonderful person and English Dancer and Dance leader, Mary  Kay
 Friday.  Here's the info on a dance.  Title is explained in  notes.

 "Following is one - - - "   and "Here's the info "   leads me to
think that
 directions  for a dance will actually follow   "here".

 But they were not "there"!   How about  posting the dance ?  Also  the
 dance for " Fast Living"?   I  also danced with Mary Kay Friday  (not to be
 confused with  Mary Cay  Brass! )
 Thanks,   Ralph Sweet
