Subject: RE: Locations in Newfoundland song
Fogo (49.714713,-54.279842), Twillingate (49.647959,-54.76367), and Moreton's Harbour (49.570037,-54.863148) are all off the North coast of Newfoundland, while Bonavista (48.652531,-53.10997) is on the "mainland".

No idea whether this is right, wrong, or nonsense but I've always assumed that after hipping your partner, you had to go "All around the circle" and back to place, with Fogo, Twillingate and Moreton's Harbour being the other three dancers you passed on the way.
