This country-dance was composed by Beryl MacMillan in honour of Mrs. Thomas Bingham. (Mrs. Bingham introduced R.S.C.D.-type country-dancing to the Vancouver area some forty years ago now, and was an active teacher until quite recently). The music was specially composed by Bob MacMillan: the tunes are “Mrs. Bingham‘s Fancy”, “Ceperley Park", ”Harwood House" and “Lady Aberdeen”. The titles will have pleasant associations for all VAncouver dancers. If any reader would like the original music, we will pass requests on to Bob. Those who use gramophone records can substitute band 5 of side 2 of Dominion LP 1255 (“Scottish Country Dances” by the Dunedin Scottish dance band).
