NOTES

Uncle Ev' Barn Dance is known in Australia only in the Upper Murray.

The Strut was learned by Ian Johnston from an elderly player from Cobram, Vic. It was 
briefly used in Nariel, paired with "Uncle Ev's" but subsequently dropped because it did not fit the dance. The Nariel Band also uses 
"Arthur Byatt's Schottische", "Granma Klipple's Schottische" and "Daddy's Schottische". Source: "Music Makes Me Smile" 2nd Ed, 2015, p182
