* Not advertised as a sequence dance CD but contains excellent music for our Scottish friends and others; the polkas especially should add variety to any sequence dance programme. As non-Scottish reviewers, we apologize for any errors in transcription or interpretation of the dances. Any such errors will be corrected if advised to us.
