[SCA-Dance] Dance to "So Treiben Wir Den Winter Aus - Mediaeval Baebes"?

[Penelope Millar]

Drive the Cold Winter Away is one of my favorite songs. :) Listening to the
Medieval Babes version posted, I think you'd have trouble doing the
Playford dance to it - although I can hear where the melodies are related,
it isn't the exact same tune or repeat structure. Still, you might be able
to make the music and dance work together. ECD is often easy to dance to
other tunes as long as you have the right rhythm.
