Dance Information
Bryan Luce introduced me as briefer at a dance by saying I had written a dance for him, his wedding, his dog, his wife's cat, but not his guinea pig, Buckeye. So, I wrote this dance to fill that void. Also, I hail from Ohio, the Buckeye State.Suggested music: The Wind that Shakes the Barley from Muckle Carfuffle.
