Dance devised by Bill Zobel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nautical flavour of the tune gave rise to the title \u201cThe Button Boy\u201d. In the Naval tradition of manning the mast, the button boy is the seaman chosen to climb all the way to the top and stand on the button. This is deemed to be a high accolade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tune is a favourite of Bill\u2019s who could also be described as the \u201cbutton boy\u201d when sitting at the sound desk in our recording studio at Allanton.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
