Subject: RE: Too old for folk when this is over
Mo,have you ever choreographed a country dance? I have written down two themes from TV that would make good country dances. One is the theme for the Red Green show (easy to hear on YouTube) and the other is from the BBC archeology show "Time Team."

The Time Team tune is not the theme song, it's a faux country dance tune they sometimes play in the background when excavating a 17th-century site. The original has only one section, so I composed a B part. The Red Green Theme is 24 measures long, and the other one is 32, in two clearly different 16-bar sections.

I think it would be fun to have modern English country dancers dancing to a tune which the TV people never dreamed anybody would dance to. If you are interested, PM me with your e-mail address, and I will send you a JPG, which you can print. If you need abc, maybe a Catter will help produce it.
