NOTES
======

There is a 32-count vocal intro to the music. Then dance 'the intro' once,
then start 'the dance' just as the music kicks in with the fiddle!

After dancing 8 complete walls the music will come to a complete stop - you
will be facing the home wall and here you will hold for a couple of seconds
until the music kicks in again. Then do the 9th & final wall to finish
(change the last triple 1/2 turn to a triple 3/4 turn to ensure that you end
facing front for a "nice" finish!).
