Then in English country dance repertoire, there are some interesting  
pieces with unusual time signatures and number of bars.  Peter Barnes  
has a good book of English Country dances, but Jeremy Barlow's  
complete Playford collection is my favorite.  Ormond House - is a  
great Playford tune and a great exercise on dulcimer - MIDI

Actually, there are now two Barnes books-- the first, the "blue" book, the 
latest[cherry] "red."  They can be purchased through _www.cdss.org_ 
(http://www.cdss.org) , or directly from Peter.  These are considered to be the 
"Bible" 
for ECD players, and most of the tunes which are commonly used for dances are 
in 
these.  (Playford and modern dances) I would not be without these.
 
Cheer,
Deborah
