[SCA-Dance] Article for Dance Musicians

[David Learmonth]

Hey Dafydd,

I was just curious to see, at least as a temporary measure, if I might find
some recordings on Youtube.  So I searched a bit, and did find something
you might find of interest:

I found this youtube channel when I searched for "Have at thy Coat, Old
Woman"
http://youtu.be/Iqk_1dT934o

And it looks like the songs are freely available:
http://www.free-scores.com/Download-PDF-Sheet-Music-tobydarling.htm

Of course they may need editing / cutting, so it isn't perfect, but could
be useful for a few songs.  :)
(though may not be period instruments either, but still sounds nicer than
midi)


Oh, and a few times, when I've really needed a song, I've managed to cheat
and Extract the music from a Youtube video, often from a live dance
performance video.  So that can work sometimes too.  Here is the website
I've used:
