GUEST,redmax	Tune Req: Harrogate Lodge / Merry Girls of York (3)	Tune Req: Harrogate Lodge / Merry Girls of York	17 Jul 07
Not exactly a tune request, but a source request. Kidson printed this tune in his 'Old English Country Dances' (1890). He called it The Merry Girls of York, but mentioned that "The same dance is inserted in Hodsall's Country Dances for 1810. It is there called "Harrogate Lodge" I've done some searching, and can't find a copy of 'Hodsall's Country Dances for 1810'. The name may be spelled Hodsoll, and the full title may be his "Annual Collection of Twenty-four Favourite Country Dances for the year 1810" but even iwith this info I can't find the item. The reason for my curiosity is simply that I'm from Harrogate, and I was interested to see this tune actually printed under this title rather than a second hand reference to its existence
