Playford, 1651: Row Well ye Mariners, Peppers Black, Mundesse.JPD: Tape from DHDS Summer School, 1988, which focused on Englishdance c. 1588 and other dances linked thematically with the Armada (i.e.nautical or Spanish). Nice tape with good versions <strong>of</strong> lots <strong>of</strong> the moreobscure Inns <strong>of</strong> Court dances, and some fun Playfords. The instructionbook should be used with caution, as some <strong>of</strong> their assumptions seem abit questionable to me. (Some <strong>of</strong> the Inns <strong>of</strong> Court dances are done withsteps from Negri, some from Arbeau, mostly according to the whim <strong>of</strong> theauthor. Some almans are done with an unusual alman step, some withcoranto steps.) But if you do your own research, this is fine music to danceto!

Unfortunately, I just don't find the music very attractive.It's very danceable to with a beat that's clear even to the rhythmicallyuninclined; however, some aesthetic appeal got sacrificed in making it souseful.
