Dear Mr Greenhaus, Sir!

Being new to Mudcat I don't really understand the proprieties of communicating via threads yet. Thankyou for your suggestion...very interesting though the words don't seem to fit the tune too well.

I can remember something along the lines of: "Do si do your corner, and pass your partner by Do si do with the girl on the left and pass your partner by...." and after that I really get totally lost!

Does this jog any memories? I've tried searching the web at some length but with no success for the words- tho many recordings of the tune...but I KNOW that!

Many thanks for the interest!

Gin
