New subject: [sd-callers] Traditional Music

I've called this dance a lot (along with Swannee River) for a "lady round
lady" singing call but with live music.  Plenty of vocal versions on line of
course!Once found an instrumental on YouTube but not now.  There were once square dance
recordings on 78s. 

If you call it as found in books the timing is terrible.  It goes - first couple to the
right and you pass (split) right thru - you walk around the lady and I'll tell youwhat
to do."  That's two full phrases (16 beats) just for one single file around the
lady.  But it was danced that way..
 I started to fix it by saying first couple to the right and you balance four right
there.  But who would balance anymore at "club" level or ONSs?!So now its
"First Couple to the Right and you say How do you do.  - The Lady go Round the Lady
and the Gent you Follow too.The Rest: The lady go round the lady and the gent go round the
gent - now the lady go round the gent and the gent go round the gal.
Swing in the middle go on to the next - you say How do you do....

I'm looking for the music to an old traditional square dance. The dance is
called "The Lady Around the Lady". The song used is "Eleven More Months
and
Ten More Days".

Can anyone tell me where I can find the instrumental version of the song in
any format?
