Historic Illustrations of Dancing

[jducoeur]

Another ebook worth noting from Project Gutenberg -- The Dance: Historic Illustrations of Dancing from 3300 B.C. to 1911 A.D., by "An Antiquary". Bearing in mind that the book is from 1911, so the scholarship is likely a bit dated, this is nonetheless a rich source of dance pictures from all ages, including two chapters on SCA period...

Hi! and thanks for your response to my comment in the Masons community. There's a lot of good sense there [[ the sort of thing that made me say "Duh! of course! Why Didn't I Think Of It That Way!?!?

I see you were in Princeton when I was a student at Westminster Choir College (1980-1984). Did you perchance have any connection with Trinity Church? We might know some of the same folks.

Anyway, I am "friending" you. Please feel free to do the same if you wish, and don't take my overwrought state of the past week to seriously -- it's a church musician in December thing, mostly.

'Fraid not. I wasn't actually living in Princeton, just going to high school there (at PDS, one of the private schools on the outskirts of town); I was living a town or two over, and didn't have many remaining connections in Princeton per se.

Anyway, I am "friending" you.

Welcome. Note that I occasionally get a tad cynical about Masonry in my journal -- don't take that too harshly, I'm just a shade burned out at this point. I do think it's a very good organization, but I've been an officer long enough (and continuously enough) to be a little over-aware of its warts...

hah!That's OK -- I am on the Philalethes e-list, so I know all about the warts...
