When I mentioned that The Sunday Class CD had several tracks of non-8 times repeats, Mady asked me to write a dance for the 5 times through jig. I came up with this dance but struggled for a title. Then Tommy Smothers died and I named the dance in honor of him and for one of my favorite bits he and Dick did.
