I spaced out when I wrote my earlier e-mail.  I was thinking that the  
balance would be after beat 16 in the B2 of 30 year jig.  It would  
actually be after beat 8.  So, the dancers would be able to hear  
where to balance after all.  It's while they are swinging that the  
melody is a bit crazy.  It also occured to me that the beginning of  
the hey would occur where the melody is crazy as well but this  
shouldn't be such a big problem.
