Apart from Indigo Silk, my favorites are Dogleaf Reel by Lisa Greenleaf and
Best of Friends by Martha Wild.

I like Rory O’More, but Money Musk and Chorus Jig are probably the most often
danced (and perhaps most favorite) proper dances.

Here it is. Don’t ask me how the original goes, I don’t have it. I just have
this noted as “Nil’s adaptation”. Maybe Nil's mentioned that he adapted it back

A1: Second corners balance LH and swat the flea (8), and allemande left
once or twice (8);
A2: Partners meltdown swing (16), end facing across;
B1: Balance
I have enjoyed Indigo Silk by Lynn Ackerson and High Voltage Gypsy by John
Combs as taught by Nils Fredland. And you could always do Rory O’ More! :-)
