Note: You could also double time the rocking chair on the Dolly Parton track.

**Note for Dolly Parton track:

This track has several extra counts of 4 and two counts of 12.
The beat is continuous throughout the track. To keep this dance as
simple as possible I decided not to add any tags, restarts, etc.
Just dance through it. It works. It ends on count 16 as music fades out.

The Gaelic Storm track has no extras.
