Why do I have the feeling these are all going to come back in two
years on my uncle Norman's joke list?

I'm already aware they've been printed and posted at dances in
Amherst and Berkeley.

dear francis2 & other list readers,

"a virtual card for you" and "an internet flower for you" have been
identified as hoaxes, not actual viruses.  

see <http://www.datafellows.com/hoaxes/inflower.shtml> and
<http://www.datafellows.com/hoaxes/vcredit.shtml> for details.

the following should always raise a red flag:

>   > Please pass on this mail to all your friends! Forward this to everyone
>   > in your address book. 

almost any message that tells you to forward it to everyone should *not*
be forwarded.  instead, please check a reliable source to see if the
alleged viruses are for real.  most warnings are themselves another sort
of virus - they persuade people of good will to waste bandwidth by
forwarding them, and cause unnecessary worry.

perhaps someone else can suggest more websites for checking up on virus
warnings?

Try:

http://www.hoaxkill.com

and, for general urban-legend debunking,

http://www.snopes2.com

Incidentally, the phrase "the most destructive yet" is an almost certain
indicator of a hoax. Meanwhile, apparently there *is* a nasty virus
circulating again -- but as an attachment to e-mail, not as e-mail itself.
The general rule of not opening any attachment unless you know the person
who sent it *AND* you are expecting this particular attachment is a sound
and prudent one. And, of course, you should make sure your e-mail software
is not configured to automatically open attachments!

Peace,
Paul

The place I go to is:

www.urbanlegends.com

It's got a wealth of information on all these hysterical alerts, petitions, 
etc.  However, a good rule of thumb is: if something tells you to send it to 
everyone you know, don't.

This listing reminds me of the year (early 70s) at
Pinewoods when Marshall Barron began doing the same sort of
thing with names of campers. Mine, of course, was "Lyrl Me

	I am reading a book publishe in October, 2000 by Jane Hamilton, an
author from Wisconsin 
and I am still relatively near the beginning but Iwanted to share this
with
 you all as soon as possible. The characters are eerily familiar. There
is a pianist
who plays for ECD with a group called "Juice of Barley", a group which
plays 
the tunes with many inventive variations;  she has also played  piano for

"The Civil War" series.
 	She   plays every summer at a camp called Silverpines in
Massachussetts. 
The narrator describess a  teen named Lily, whose father plays "Hurdy
Gurdy" 
at camp and teaches ritual dances to the kids.
	The last thing I read before running to my PC to send this message 
involved greeting on the first day of camp and raccoons.  
Is anyone else familiar with this book?

Martha-

Helene Cornelius mentioned the book to me with some amusement a while ago. I've read it, and have to say I found it amusing also, though I understand the woman who is clearly the model for the wife who plays piano considers it "bizarre"- small wonder, since, except for the details of her musicianship and the camp connection, there is nothing at all of the real person's character in the fictional one. I did find myself wondering who outside another attendee at Pinewoods would understand the brief reference to the "Welcoming Committee" at the entrance.

Helene tells me the author has attended Pinewoods.

On his way to Halsway Manor, Somerset, Dr David Kettlewell, folk musician,
musicologist, composer, is coming to England at Easter, to a conference at
Canterbury, Kent Univ. His address is entitled 'Learning with Leonardo',
implying doing lots of different artistic things to produce a harmonic
whole, with emphasis on activities and insights which solve problems and
make sense to people today,
 ... and then to spend several days at Halsway Manor, Somerset, UK.

The Special Mid-Week April House Party at the Manor,DATES 2nd - 6th APRIL
2001will be nostalgic for many. On this wonderful occasion we are delighted
to welcome, for the first time in many years, Dr David Kettlewell, author,
composer and musicologist extraordinaire.  In the 1970's David worked for
EFDSS as a field officer and met a great many people and was an inspiration
to fellow dancers, musicians and singers. He plays a whole range of styles
of music including Playford, on a whole range of musical instruments
including harpsichord, harp. (I have heard him play dulcimer and clarinet
too,)  He presents his ideas using modern technology.

We are preparing workshops which will entertain and allow the participants
to learn what they can do and discover more about
themselves in the process.  This will be interesting, lighthearted and fun
with activities in the evenings.
-----------------------------
Provisional programme;
"From Notre Dame to the Beatles"
- a practical experience of the history of harmony - how the weaving
together of separate melodies gave rise to today's 'chordal' thinking

"Mr. Porter's Delight"
- new repertoire for folk players - aires from John Play ford (and
others) as the English counterpart to Carolan

Playford Plays Playford
- a baroque view of the music for Playford dances

" 'Tis the quire do have to sing ... "
- Hardy, harmony singing, shape-note hymns, the links with west-gallery
music and Paul Simon

"Musica Humana"
- finding the voice within you - especially for those who believe they
can't sing

"Practical Musicology"
- knowing what you do - and how doing what you know!

"You CAN draw and paint"
- integrating the common elements of mediaeval manuscript illumination,
renaissance frescos and baroque folk painting, to create something practical
and uniquely your own

"The Striking Sound"
- reflections on dulcimers and dulcimer-players from many places and times

"Multimedia on the Mac"
- practical thoughts about using today's technology for communicating
culture and education

The author of this book is Jane Hamilton, author of the celebrated "Map
of the World," (an Oprah book club selection, no less), among others.

Jane is an enthusiastic dancer from Wisconsin, who has indeed attended
Pinewoods many times (Family Week).  She even danced at the Brattleboro
Ball last November!  

As we say in parts of New York, she's "good people," so we can buy and
read her books with enthusiasm!

Dear friends,

Below is the consolidated list of requests for Bare Necessities'
forthcoming CD of set dances.

If you know of currently available, suitable recordings (proper tempo,
times through, character) for any of these, please let me know!  I've
already eliminated requested dances with recordings I do know about.  

The Boston Centre committee, the band and I will review the list to make
the final selections for the recording sessions beginning April 10.

Thank you very much!

I just finished reading Nancy Mitford's _Madame de Pompadour_, and as usual
when people are writing about that period in French history, she says that
the Versailles crowd had several balls a week, but she didn't talk about
what they danced at the balls.

Can anyone tell me?  (I ask this confidently; I'll bet several people on the
list can.)  Had ECD made it over there, and was the Court doing it?  Were
they simply minuetting like mad?  Did they do the Hokey Pokey and the Frug,
or were they all pointing their fingers in the air and going "beep, beep"?

I think that there must have been minuets, along with bourrees, rigaudons,
gavottes, gigues, etc. Yet I find the idea of La Pompadour and her friends
zigging to tunes like La Donna del' Estate's "Fille vilaine, fille triste"
charming, and even preferable.
Seriously, my weak understanding is that the sort of dance notated by Feuillet
would have been at its height in Pompadour's youth--but that there was also
substantial cross-pollination with English traditions, as witnessed by, just to
name one example, Female Sayler/Matelotte.

Balls during that time generally consisted of both "contredances" (i.e
ECD-type dances), which were done by everyone, and dances for solos,
couples or small groups which were done in front of the whole company.
Most of these dances were based on various forms such as the bourree,
minuet, etc. The contredances were always done after the "dances a deux."
I know that during the 17th cent. the balls usually began with a
processional of some kind, but don't know if this was still true during
the days of Pompadour. Beep beep??

I see now that Ms Phillips and I have been obscure. "Beep beep....yeah....toot
toot!" is the tag of a disco song (hence pointing one's fingers in the air): I
remember it as the tag of a Donna Summer song (hence my laborious joke about La
Donna etc., etc.) but could be wrong.
At any rate, we were both imagining the French court doing anachronistic and
absurd things...*that's* what was meant by "beep beep" et alia.

anyone know if there are still spaces available at the conference?  If not,
I'm the one with the backpack peeking through the windows of the House.
Seriously, I'd be very grateful for any info on what's going on.  Email me

Dear Gene,
    Interesting list!
    Just a few comments:
    The Archbishop - on Playford from the New World (The Assembly Players)
    An Enchanted Place, Enrichez Vous, A Trip to Macclesfield and Winter 
Solstice are all recorded and in process for issue on The Assembly Players' 
Cd this summer (launch date June 30th) - provisional title "Old World - New 
Dance".
    Hey Boys, Up go We! - is this Cuckolds all a row? If so, fine; but if it 
is what the Kennedys published under the title "The Way to Norwich", then it 
is on "Purcell, Encore!"
    All the 24 Apted dances were well recorded by Jim Coleman and Denis Smith 
on two Lp's, (as were all the dances in EFDS New Series no. 1 on one disc) 
and may still be available from EFDSS. I think the 3 Orange and Blue PLA 
recordings (and the Ranchers' one) were reissued on Cassette, which would 
still be available.
    Various of the list are on The West Kirby Bands' recordings: Terpsichore, 
Sir Watkins Jig, The Amazed Geneticist, Hunsdon House.
    SOMEBODY has recorded Bare Necessities, but I cannot think who at this 
moment!
                                                            Nicolas.

Any list members who are in the Baltimore area on March 31st are most
welcome to attend the following.  It will be mostly contras, I should
warn, as that is the majority of the Baltimore dance community, but we'll
probably do about 6 English dances.

Eileen and Mike Franch Invite You to A Birthday Dance to celebrate their
60th birthdays and how much the dance community has meant to them for the
past 25-plus years.
 
Saturday March 31, 2001
St. Mark’s-on-the-Hill Parish Hall
1620 Reisterstown Rd., Pikesville, Md. USA
(1.5 miles inside Beltway)

6:00 Pot Luck, 8:00 Dance

Calling by Susan Taylor (contras) and Carl Friedman (English)
Music by Marty Taylor, Steve Hickman, and Michael Friedman
Children, Friends, and New Dancers Welcome

RSVPs helpful so we’ll know how many to plan for.
Contact us at (410) 889-3252 or franch-AT-

No material gifts, please.  Let your presence by your gift. (We also

If it was laborious, the labor was not wasted.  I actually couldn't remember
which disco tune the "beep beep!" came from, but as soon as I translated
"Fille vilaine, fille triste" I cracked up -- and the song came flooding
back.  I think the whole French court would have been at home at Club 54 . .
. although they might have thought it a bit tame (I'm also reading _At Home
With The Marquis de Sade_ right now).

You're right. It was a recurring tag for Ms Summer's "Bad Girls." (See, I
know about other stuff besides ECD once in a while.. :-) )

Dear Nic,

The Apted recordings by Jim and Denis are no longer available. One would
have thought that the EFDSS would have re-issued these on cassette/CD by
now!!

Bare Necessities was recorded by Bare Necessities, of course.

In my haste to send off yesterday evening I failed to spot Juliana on Gene's 
list. This is on The Assembly Players' CD 'Dance and Danceability'

  This is already recorded - by Bare Necessities!

Dunant House Waltz
  Dutch Crossing  (CD) Dutch Folk Dance Society (NVS).

Twins, The
  Wild Thyme CM017 (record) - don't know if this is available on cassette

Looks as if you should get the EFDSS Playford series, Gene!  These four
records of "The English Dancing Master", PLA1-4 (now available on cassette)
are well worth buying.  I'm not so keen on volume 3, by the Rancers, but
the other three volumes are by Orange and Blue (whom you'll be working with
at the final dance of the Playford Conference) and they're great.  In fact
my introduction to Playford was their first two records, rather than
dancing.

Maybe you should also buy "What was that dance" - a book listing thousands
of dances in the English Tradition, compiled by Freda McIntyre and Bob
Howe.  It lists titles, formations, music, source and recordings.  I have
an old copy (1992) with over 3,000 dances, but I know it's been updated a
lot since then, and Freda told me last week that she's working on the
latest version.

This book and all the recordings mentioned (if still available) can
probably be bought from Cotswold Music Society, run by Shane and Julia Day
of the band Keeping Thyme (ex Wild Thyme).  A good stock of Folk dance and
music material, including many items published by Cotswold Music
themselves.  I've always found them helpful, friendly and knowledgeable -
they even take American checks!  Email them at cotswoldmusic-AT-
ndirect.co.uk
and ask for specific items or a catalogue.  Or view their catalogue online
at http://www.ndirect.co.uk/~cotswoldmusic

No, they're not paying me a commission.

No doubt four other people will already have written to the list with this
information, but I read the Digest once a day rather than sitting at the
keyboard ready to pounce!

I hope Bare Necessities will concentrate more on unrecorded material.
When I buy a CD, my first thoughts are whether there is NEW material on it
and I regret that that has not been the case much on recent CDs by Bare
Necessities with the result that I haven't felt the need to buy any of the
series so far.

I emailed david wilson yesterday, and had a negative reply about full

but I should enquire immediately:

Maybe there's a reserved transatlantic quota?

Isn't that on the "Bare Necessities" tape/CD(?) by Bare Necessities?

There's a nice recording of that on the "Dutch Crossing" CD.

Also nicely done on the Dutch Crossing CD.

Well, it is very gratifying that my labor was not vain, and that I made
*somebody* laugh, at any rate. At one point in the staged version of her song
"Vogue," La Madonna herself turns up in pseudo-Pompadour/Antoinette garb--so
these worlds have collided before.
And now, back to your regularly scheduled English Country Dance discussion.

There is a move by the Claygate club to reissue these on CD.
They have already checked the copyright situation and located the masters.
They are looking into costing via Red Fish Studio in Holland

With all due respect and appreciation for the both the works and the members
of the other musical groups who have previously recorded some of the
material suggested for the upcoming BN 5 volume, it seems to me that not
only content but style and artistic merit are worthy considerations in the
esoteric world of ECD music. And Bare Necessities has always come through
glowingly in these areas.

As for "Bare Necessities" having previously been recorded by the group, I
have been told that Bare Necessities once considered including this
eponymous dance on each of their albums,  as a kind of trademark - with a
different, but danceable, approach each time. Interesting idea.

For what it's worth, I'd like to see "Broom; the Bonny, Bonny Broom"
recorded by BN, regardless of previous versions. Their approach and
rendition of this simple but poignant melody is right on target, at least to
my ears and dancing feet!

Susan Booker,
looking forward to dancing
 to the music of Bare Necessities
 at the March 25 Nashville Ball!

Dear Nicolas & Gene,
    Bare Necessities did "Bare Necessities" on cassette.  Putting it on CD is
probably a good idea.  Duplication on CD of some of this material is warranted if
it makes it more accessible to people this side of the pond -- as well as that
side.

Actually, Bare Necessities recorded Bare Necessities on
an LP (remember those things?  Large black disks that 
could get scratched, and turned into big potatoe chips
if you left them in your car in the sun?)
That earlier recording has been reissued on CD & cassette.

I _was_ a little surprised to see that one on Gene's list of
"Have these dances been recorded".  Especially since this
is a Bare Necessities project...

Thanks to everyone who responded on- and off-list to my request for known
recordings of dances requested for Volume 5 ("At Home") of the Bare
Necessities ECD series.  As producer I believe it is part of my job to
avoid needless duplication, thereby maximizing the precious resources of
our international ECD community.  In my own dance calling and teaching I
happen not to use recordings.  Consequently I must depend on other
knowledgeable people, of which there are many on this list (as others
posting various queries have also found).  I really appreciate your help.

This latest exercise has raised an intesting issue.  All the dances on
the list I posted last week were *requests*.  This means that one or more
callers/teachers had asked that the dance music be recorded, which
implies that they were likely unaware of or could not readily obtain the
many, many existing recordings which many of you enumerated for me. 
That's a problem!  I know the expense of money and effort required to
produce such recordings, and I think it's a shame that folks who could be
using and enjoying them don't know about them or can't get them easily,
and the folks who invested the time and money aren't recouping something
on their investment.  

In his posting, Colin mentioned "What Was That Dance," a book listing
thousands of dances in the English Tradition with sources and available
recordings, compiled by Freda McIntyre and Bob Howe.  Let's all encourage
Ms. McIntyre and Mr. Howe to keep their listing current, and to make it
readily available through CDSS, Cotswold Music, and others.  Callers,
teachers, dancers, and record producers(;-)) should consult such
resources regularly!  There are other useful compilations which should be
similarly supported.  Perhaps it's time for an all-encompassing "ECD
Portal" on the Web! (hey... sounds like a great idea for a new dot-com
company!... wonder how the market for tech IPO's is these days?... oh,
wait... ooops...).

Finally, IMHO, just because a recording of a dance already exists doesn't
necessarily mean it should not be re-recorded, though it should raise a
warning flag.  Tastes change, and tastes vary.  Some people have asked
specifically for "the Bare Necessities version" of a dance while knowing
of the existence of other readings.  Conversely, some find BN's work not
to their taste, and patiently wait for another recording of a particular
dance.  At the moment, we can be thankful for a healthy ECD "scene" with
new dances, new tunes, new bands, and new recordings all finding a place.
 As long as we're mindful of what we're all doing (thank you again, Alan,
for this list), and we make sure our decisions are informed and not
negligent or capricious, I think this art we all love so well and all who
contribute to it will continue to flourish.

Gene

According the the CDSS web page, Vol 1 has been discontinued.  Is it
still available elsewhere?

There is a lovely version of Enrichez-Vous on Childsplay's "The Great
Waltz", however it is the only ecd on the cd.  

For groups looking for music but don't have much money to spend, the
following is a helpful resource :
http://sca.uwaterloo.ca/~praetzel/CD-offer.html

The recordings are not nearly so lush as BN, but if it's that or not
dance...

Speaking as both a teacher and as a listener, if it's not on cd, I can't
use it.  I have nothing against LP's and tapes (I own way too many tapes,
in fact), but cannot play them.  Even when I could play them, as a
teacher, cueing up a piece of music on tape takes too much valuable time,
so again, only cd's will cut it for me.

Collating too many lists from too many sources too late at night... my
apologies.

(Of course we could implement our plan to re-record those on shawms,
krummhorns, sackbuts, and serpents!)

For what it's worth, I've had very good luck out here in the hinterlands using a laptop and MP3 sound files.  All the MP3 players available on the net (many are free) allow you to quickly configure an evening's dance card and, at least in the case of Winamp (www.winamp.com), you can easily jump to anyplace in the tune with just a couple of simple keystrokes.  There's even a built-in fade so you don't just chop the sound off when you need to stop a dance due to a broken set.  Works very nicely--I use the CD/Tape deck only very rarely.

Software is generally available that will allow you to capture your disparate media (tapes, LPs and CDs) into a single, easy-to-use, portable (easier to use than your typical boombox) format via your computer's built-in sound card.  The only hardware needed is the inexpensive 1/4" phono patch cord required to connect between your sound card and the particular media player (tape, CD, LP, etc.) you'll initially use to transfer the music to your laptop.  In the case of both tapes and CDs, I use an inexpensive "Walkman" type player--anything to get the bits in the machine.  An old LP stereo portable picked up at a garage sale is all that's needed (and only for a few hours) to transfer those vinyl favorites.  My software even removes clicks, pops and hiss at the same time!

I'm deeply grateful to all you wonderful folk who've told me that Bare
Necessities by Bare Necessities on Bare Necessities is available on CD
... especially so because my cherished cassette has mysteriously
vanished.

The citation of Dusty Miller by Bare Necessities on Nightcap refers to a
truly beautiful performance.  The entire album is a delight.  I'm not
sure whether it can be used for dance, that was not the intention of the
album. Has anyone tried it?
Does it work? The rubato, although controlled, might make make it
difficult for musically unsophisticated ears.

The Waits of Southwark - Silence is Deadly
It's loud & rowdy ECD music *perfectly* arranged for dancing, available 
from the web merchant, The Jester's Court:
http://www.savageresearch.com/jester/waits.html 

  Fain I Would
  [Hey Boys, Up Go We!] Cuckolds All A Row?
  Hyde Park (played twice through the dance)
  Rufty Tufty
  Merry Merry Milkmaids

New York Renaissance Band - Country Capers:
I've done all the following & they are the correct length for dancing:

 Argeers
 Kettledrum 
 Maid Peeped Out at the Window
 Merry Merry Milkmaids
 Rufty Tufty
 Staines Morris for "Upon the Morning Breeze" (Gary Roodman dance to 
Staines Morris)

 This one is too short: 
   Mundesse

The Broadside Band - English Country Dance

  Night Peece, The 
  Faine I Would
  Cuckolds All A Row

One of the Baltimore Consort's CDs (I don't remember which one, alas) has:

  Parsons Farewell
  Scotch Cap

  Parsons Farewell is perfect for dancing, and Scotch Cap is played 4 
times through, so it's easy enough to adapt the dance.

Antony,

That is all very well that there are recordings but most of those
mentioned are no longer available. Also, who wants vinyl now!!

Also, Colin talks about the EFDSS Playford series. Are we talking PLA
recordings here, Colin? If so Mundesse is not on my cassette version of
the recordings. There is however a recording on the Country Capers CD by
The New York Renaissance Band, with Marshall Barron playing the violin.
Whether this is a danceable version I do not know as I have not tried it
yet. The recording has the dances grouped under headings and have only
recently acquired the ability to fast forward a CD.

Wendy and I are in the process of transferring our recording collection
to minidisc as this gives us the ability to find tracks easily, although
an index is required, without having a great weight to carry. With a
portable player we can hook up to most Club's equipment to call for an
evening.

Giovanni,

Fenterlarick was first published in England, 1977, in the "Staffordshire
Silver Collection."  Tune is "Nancy's Delight" by Fred Grimshaw.  

Reprinted in CDSS News Nov/Dec 1990.  N.B.: Tune title *misprinted* as
"Nancy's Fancy."

"Fenterlarick" is the name of a now non-existant hamlet in Cornwall, and
roughly translates from the Cornish as "field spring." 

Gene

Dear Friends,

Here is the message Liz Donaldson sent us late last night:

< I visited Mary Kay this  evening at about 6:30 pm, and unfortunately 
the news  is not good.  She was  put on life support at about 6 pm, 
and the Intensive Care Unit nurse I spoke with said that there is 
extensive brain damage, and that there is swelling now  on the other 
side of her brain.  She  is  still  unresponsive and rests peacefully.

I'll send  more information as  soon  as  I have it.  Keep praying.  
Liz.

Along that line of thought, here are some possible Mondegreens of dances
that will be done at the NYC Playford Ball that Orly will chair.

The dance: Braes of Dornoch
Sounds like: Brace the Door Knock

The Goose and the Gridiron
He Goosed the Gridiron

Up with Aily
Up Your Alley

Never Love Thee More
Never Love Seymour

The Royal Meeting
The Royal Mating.

Hoping Orly will still dance with me.

Friends,

Here is Liz Donaldson's most recent report from last night (3/16):
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's been no change in Mary Kay's condition, she's still on life 
support.  Her brother, Bill Goodman, arrived this evening from 
California, but I have not yet spoken with him..

When I visited the hospital this afternoon I spent  some  time with 
Paul Friday thinking good thoughts of Mary Kay.  Both of us commented 
there seemed less of her here than there was yesterday.

I'll write again tomorrow.  Liz

PS...to those who don't know, Paul is Mary Kay's good friend and
ex-husband.

How about Braes of Dornoch sounds like Brazen Doorknobs, for which Wendy
has written a dance.

And finally, The Merry Conceit sounds like American Seat.

To all of Mary Kay's friends:
Mary Kay and I were roommates at Pinewoods English/American Week this past
summer. It was my first time there and I was relatively new to ECD. She
took me under her wing and I had a wonderful time largely because of her. I
developed such affection and respect for her in that one week; I can only
imagine the loss for those of you who were lucky enough to know her longer
and better. Thanks to Liz and others for keeping us all aware of her
condition and departure.
Sadly, 
Bree Kalb

Friends,

Here is the latest information on Mary Kay Friday from Liz Donaldson.  Thanks 
to all of you who have written and who spoke to me at the Westchester Ball on 
Saturday.  Liz Donaldson's "Mary Kay's Waltz" was played at the Ball, and we 
remembered her fondly in conversations and on the dance floor.  
Stephanie

 The family has asked I let folks know that the date for a memorial 
 program for Mary Kay has not yet been set, but is likely to be in two 
 or three weeks in the Washington area, probably in DC.  The date 
 should be known shortly, and I'll send a notice as soon as possible.

Don't forget "Lawn Gods."  And, though it's not exactly a Mondegreen, many
of us refer to "Enrichez Vous" in its English translation, "Henry at Your
House."

(Are there any dances named after programming languages other than "Sun
Assembly"?)

Dear friends,
 If you're within driving distance of Boston, Mass. you've probably seen
more snow in the last couple of weeks than you'd care to.  This Wednesday,
celebrate the end of the snow with our "Goodbye to Winter, Hello to Spring"
Party dance. (See our web site http://www.cds-Boston.org/ for information
on time and location.)

The program which is being put together by Jacqueline Schwab, features
dances associated to
winter and spring. This is a chance to look back over the winter season,
with dances like "In the Bleak Midwinter"," Round about our Coal Fire", and
"Winter Memories", and to look forward to spring with dances like "Easter
Morn", "Sun Assembly", "Easter Thursday" and "Room for Ramblers". (These
exact dances may not appear on the program, but it gives the idea of what
we're about.)

As an extra benefit, CDS members coming to the annual meeting at 7PM get
to dance free that night.

So let's dance those end of winter blues away!

Terry

I spent all weekend thinking about Mary Kay, in which I'm sure I wasn't alone.  One thing I kept thinking was what a great light had gone out of my life with her passing. We hadn't been friends for more than a couple of years, but now that she's gone there's a hole in the world that nothing else can fill.  Mary Kay had, in an amazing degree, the gift of kindness: after I'd spent time with her the world always seemed to me a kinder place. And she had a knack for making you feel special just by smiling at you and saying your name. That's how I'll always remember her. 

We were lucky to have her.

I personally prefer to use 5- or 10-minutes / per side tapes.  But I
always copy from my originals onto the short tapes so I can keep my
originals safely at home (my tapes go to lots of outdoor events). 
However, I can make working copies from CDs or tapes and since I suspect
most people these days prefer CDs that seems to be the way to go with
new recordings.

Not a programming language, but closely related: "Fast Packet,"
which (as Jon and I learned together a couple of years ago at
Ashokan) was not named for a boat, but for a computer data
transfer phenomenon.

Then there is "The Maid Peeped Out at the Windows", "Appley
House" and "Mac's Favorite". "Young Window". "Word Duck" and
"WordPerfections of Love". "As Quicken as You Please".

Well, there was the time I was calling a dance in Minneapolis and announced
that we were all going to do Fair and Softly, not realizing there was a
woman named Farrand in the audience...

Very nice!  Best I've come up with so far is explicitly not named after a
programming language: the No-Snobol.

With Mini Disks you get the best of all worlds - you get the quality and
'findability' of CDs with the 'recordability' of tapes. I use MDs and
personally find them to be the best alternative for my needs.

Christine,
It is easy enough to make your own CDs these days, so it
seems it doesn't matter so much what medium you have as your
original. As Bill McD describes, MP3 can have advantages,
but if you are not comfortable with that, or you don't have
it available, making you own CDs might be an option. I use
live music for dancing, but I have made up short CDs for
practice, copying from LP and cassette tape. You can even
change the tempo or pitch if necessary with computer software.

Thank you Nilos, you have put succinctly what I had been feeling about
the sad loss of Mary Kay.

I had only met her on a few occasions but as you say she made you feel
special each time you met her.

Two items:

1.  Anyone know who wrote the music for the wonderful Huntington's
Maggot?

2.  Can you suggest English (*and* Amer) dances whose names are 
astronomy related?  Sun Assembly immediately comes to mind. Serious
is good; far-fetched and silly are OK too.  

Thanks.
