3 X quicktime dances and music

Robb,

 

Having probably played The Dancing Master more times than most dancers have
danced it, I am perfectly well aware that it is a 3x32J in a 4 couple square
set. The title for the thread was "3x quicktime dances and MUSIC". As a
musician I replied to the subject matter on the grounds of the music and not
the dances. Why is it that the musician is always wrong even when he/she
tries to do it right???
