record that". They believed in themselves and recorded it again and
again.
  24 recordings of "Hamilton House" - which is very rarely danced
  these days - is probably 16-20 too many!
   
  It would be nice to have recordings of some of the other 12000
  dances recorded in DanceData than the same dances over and over
  again - "The Montgomeries Rant", "Mairi's Wedding" to name just two.
   
  There are so many really good dances out there that do not have
  music, and, lets face it, most will never be danced because there is
  no recorded music!
