[SCA-Dance] 9 verses of Rufty Tufty?!

[tmcd at panix.com]

I'm ripping my tape copy of "Ansteorran Kingdom Dance Workshop July
1990" to my computer.

One track is Black Nag.  The version we often dance to (on CD) has 9
verses, where the set does one rep (3 verses), the first couple peels
off to the bottom, a second rep (3 verses), then the second couple
peels to the bottem, and a third rep.  Anyone have any idea why Marcus
il Volpe might have put a version with 8 reps on the tape?  My best
guess is that he was trying for 9 and miscounted.  (I'm going to try to
duplicate the last rep to pad it to 9.)

Rufty Tufty is in Playford with 3 verses.  The version of Rufty Tufty
he did has 9 verses with a topping of an outro of 16 beats!  Does
anyone have any idea what (per)version of Rufty Tufty had 9 verses?  I
don't see a way to do the Playford version (two couples facing) the
same way as with Black Nag: even if you swap partners at the end of a
rep, that's two reps when this tape has three.  In quick Googling, I
found a version that's for as many couples as will in a circle, but it
was still 3 verses and there was no progression.  The only
possibilities I can think of are
- he wasn't familiar with the dance
- there was a progressive version, perhaps based on the circle version

The few Google hits have a review that said that there was an
accompanying booklet, but I don't have it.
