Notes
- written in honor of the marriage of two friends (Sande Gillette and Alan Roberts) who are both fiddlers.
- In the stars in A1 and A2, the 1’s are not in the same star as their partners.
- The stars are somewhat unforgiving, and must be done in a zesty manner so as to not be late for the balance in B1.
