Like I said I checked the on-line Playford pages after an EC discussion and found a Bear Dance - I will retrace my steps at work. I was hoping for the instructions for the dance - and none were found, but what was found was called a Bear's Dance.
alltheweb.com search for Playford Bear Dance reveals this on page 1 and numerous other lists of broadcasting of the tune on many radio stations. And the Playford tune had music - if you can read it! On the a seminal web resource the name of which eludes me.
