Dance Information

I used to play drums in a pipe band named Tunes of Glory and my favorite set was Wings followed by Cockney Jocks so when I realized this track plays them both and in that order, I had to write a dance.

Since it is 48 bars it couldn't be too much of a mind-twister.

Suggested music is The Meeting of the Waters from Memory Lane I.
