Whoops. I didn't notice that the post did not contain the information (sent to me by other means) that the dances hare are from the 1670 Playford. Yes, there are undoubtedly dances in that edition that go back to Elizabethan, but by the 1670 edition, IIRC, there's a significant shift from set dances to longways dances, which are pretty rare closer to 1600.
(It appears we might have different understandings of the SCA's cutoff date, there being two common ones, but I'd rather just note it than open that can of worms. :-) )
Music geek? You could say that.
It looks like you have a fun group. Are you the dulcimer player? I play dulcimer too. Do you ever make it to Pennsic?
