I also forgot to say ~ I found a really nice highland fling in this one, so thanks to you for directing my attention here. It is perfect, AABB, 16 bars, with the second ending for the B-part. Now to spend a bit more time with it that way before I add a swung version of it here... Dow or someone else may give me guff for doing it...
