	Morning Joanie, Wet for you too, oh hun ... tis here too. Dad's still with us, no news is good news as they say (touches wood, e.g. head!) Just wondering if the Dutch settled in North America, that could be where the clog dancing comes in perhaps?

	Katty, apparently clog dancing developed in the industrial areas of England and Scotland, then declined. Became popular again, there is a link with the Appalachian Mountains in North America.
