Kent Smith lives in Chicago and has devised at least 39 dances, many of which he has published himself in two
books. This dance was published by the RSCDS in Frae A’ The Airts, Vol.1 and the recommended tune, “Mrs Muir
McKenzie’s Favourite” by Charles Sharpe, has been recorded by both Alastair Hunter and Iain MacPhail to
accompany the book.
