I have our scatty dog ‘Brig’ to blame for this piece that came to me in a flash on Dunster Beach, where I walked him, mostly at Dawn, every day. Once off the lead he would disappear like a cowboy (cowdog?) in a cloud of dust/sand and I vainly tried to keep up … failed every time. His constant dashing around got the idea of a 5/8 time (123-45) with a definite ‘swing’ to it….
