   I recently listened to a couple of Fairport Convention albums which included an   
   instrumental titled "Bridge Over the River Ash".   After a short bit of   
   puzzlement I realized that it was a medley of two English Country Dances.  The   
   first is "Prince William", the second "Orleans Baffled".   
      
   Does anyone know why this combination has been given the title it has?
