I'd just love to credit the correct author! I'm sure there is some wise scholar out there who could help Thanks Ralphie |

LONG ODDS. English, Country Dance Tune (2/4 time). A Major. Standard. AABB'. The tune dates to c. 1796. Barnes (English Country Dance Tunes), 1986. Antilles (Island) AN-7003, Kirkpatrick & Hutchings - "The Compleat Dancing Master" (1973). ~Masato
