Author's Notes:
Written during the first trip I ever made to call a dance outside of New England. A1 is borrowed from Peter Lippincott's "Snake River Reel". Roger Diggle also wrote a variation of "Snake River Reel" called "Snake Oil Reel".
Editor's Notes:
Collected from Mike Richardson March, 1990.
This dance is from American Country Dances On Line
