November 14th - Saturday: SLOW JAM (Second Saturday) I'm sorry to say that it’s
unlikely that there will be a slow jam this month. Last month I was off on a
lark playing music for a neat event. At present, I'm stove up at home
recovering from an injury. Somehow I doubt that I'll be able to manage the slow
jam this month.
November 21st: Saturday: CONTRA DANCE with music by the Wildgrass String Band and calling by Joseph Erhard-Hudson, at the 1912 Center (Corner of 3rd St and Van Buren in Moscow). 7:30 PM.
You all know Joseph. One of our
very favorite callers, and one of the most fun that you'll run into anywhere.
The Wildgrass String Band plays a bluegrassy mix of old time favorites to keep
the dancers moving and grooving. Nancy Holmes and Debby Lovel-Carlson providing
lovely melodies and harmonies with their dueling fiddles; Maggie Keefe (also of
The Chelseas fame) rolls out compelling mando-melodies and rhythms; Angus Hughs
pickin' a storm on that jumbo that'll keep you spinnin' and bouncin'; and Dave
Vollmer will give y'all a place to land with his bass fiddle. We'll be warming
things up as winter approaches! See you there!
Beginner? No problem- Arrive at 7:30 and there are free lessons.
No Partner? No worry. There are lots of dancers - many would like to dance with
you. All dances are taught. Singles, families & beginners are always welcome.
Children are always FREE
Free dance lessons at 7:30, 8-10:30 Dance. Admission: $10 for members, $12 for
non-members, students $8 and new dancers get in for $5.
