I just found a little review of this in the latest CDSS (Country Dance & Song Society) newsletter.

Re: New Music Book

Bill and Liz are personal friends and very well known in the Contra Dance community in New England. They are less well known in re-enacting circles because they don't perform outside of New England/Upstate NY. However, the dance master they work with, Dr. Patri Pugliese, is better known because of his work with the 2nd South Carolina String Band. Anyone who went to the Confederate ball at 1st Manassas last summer saw Patri in action.

The research in this volume is meticulous. The CD they mention is also excellent. Another CD of period dance music by Liz and Bill just released is: Dancing By the Sea available for the Nahant Historical Society at
