I've been listening to the recording put out by Classical Express of some of John Playford's music, ballads and dances--pretty good. So who wants to dance? haha
Here is the medieval.org page on this and other recordings. Classical Express (division of Harmonia Mundi)

Last night I had a dream about Alex which quickly morphed into something else, involving a prison, an urban area, and vampires or something... or maybe it was the other way around. This morning I had a dream about the pope entering into discussions with the Romanian? Orthodox; and then later the Armenians came up. And while we were walking we passed by some Orthodox bishops and he blessed them. Weird.
