Notes: Susan Reid writes, “[This is] a crooked little tune. The A part repeats twice (although it almost sounds like four times because the first and second halves of the A are quite similar), the B part repeats three times. Tunes like this, when ramped up to speed, are great for step dancing. They’re also fun to dig into.”
