For Susie Langdon Kass on the occasion of her significant birthday. Susie’s husband Sid commissioned the tune by Muriel Johnstone. Susie was my fIrst teacher (as she was for many dancers in the Bay Area) and is a tireless and enthusiastic promoter of Scottish Country Dancing. She is well known for teaching “The Langdon Knot” to any (and all) who have yet to learn this very secure way of tying shoelaces. The fIgure in bars 9–16 reminds me of tying a knot and is evocative of the central fIgure in John McAlpin, one of Susie’s favorite dances. A Ramsay herself, another of Susie’s favorites is Lady Lucy Ramsay, which is the source for the last 8 bars. (Tim Wilson)
