Thread Name: Tunes collected by Sharp
Subject: Tunes collected by Sharp
Quite a lot is known about where Cecil Sharp got his songs and morris dances, from but where did he get the country dance tunes from?

Did he collect them "in the field" from people who played for social dance or did he get many of them from books?
