Devised in memory of the deviser’s wife and dancing partner for 64 years, Barbara, the dance is constructed from some of her favourite sequences.
Muriel Johnstone has made a recording of her music for the dance. Apart from the original tune for this dance (Barbara's Favourites) it also includes The Dean Brig of Edinburgh, The Ceilidh Umbrella and Atholl Palace.
The original instructions can be found in https://my.strathspey.org/dd/issue/2720/.
Less able/less energetic dancers, who find the return to own sides via passing right shoulders in bars 23 - 24 too demanding, may turn right hands.
