I should note that I've been trying this year to add multiple
references to the Caller's Box, especially for the older dances.
http://www.ibiblio.org/contradance/thecallersbox/dance.php?id=3615
should give 10 references, six of which are online.
(There's one more for in the next update: Oglebay Institute Syllabus
<vol> 1982 <no> Spring <p> 10. It's still an ongoing project.)
