Teaching point:\\ Note that the A and B parts are six bars but the C part is eight bars — this longer phrase can take people by surprise if you're not careful.\\
Dave's tune, written as a 'jig time strathspey’, peaked our interest. The phrasing of the B phrase seemed to ask for the corner partner figure.
