A rant? Is there actually a dance called that???

Is it Irish? I know the book I got the tune from is wrong about the

I forgot to mention one slight detail in my last posting, btw:
For the sake of your own reputation as a musician and mine as an
arranger, *never* play the Amazing grace arrangement in public unless:
a) everybody in the audience are well and truly drunk.
*or:*
b) you're a bunch of really 'dorable children and the audience
consists mainlky of parents and old aunties.
