<<< I Think that is a GREAT idea!! I know that one of my biggest problems

is that I don't have a CD with the specific DANCE music on it, or if I

do, it is by another name and it is hard for me to know which dance

goes to it. (I know that they are out there, any suggestions??) >>>

 

Until such time as the MMM can record and produce a CD, here are some

suggestions on what is commercially available. CD Baby is a great

resource -- no connection other than a satisfied custormer. The same for

the other merchants mentioned. I either own each CD listed or I have

heard it/danced to it from another dance instructor.

1 -  Tempus Saltandi -- Wolgemut - available from CD Baby

http://cdbaby.com/cd/wolgemut03 $12.95 (Track list: Double, Single,

Gay, Burgundian, Tourch, Charlotte, Pease, Maltese, Scottish, Official,

Pinagay, Hay, Montarde, Washerwoman's, Horse's Bransles).

 

English Country Dancing:
