The band for this is _not_ a <br>> traditional dance band. They're more of a garage band with bar-band <br>> aspirations. I wrote to them several weeks ago to check in about music, <br>> and when I didn't hear back, wrote again about a week ago. Then again, <br>> and finally heard back right as I was getting ready to leave for the <br>> airport for a weekend gig, from which I've just returned.<br>> <br>> Their contact person tells me that sheet music would be useful, which <br>> puts me in the position of trying to figure out a very small assortment <br>> of tunes to send them. We're doing about 1/2 hour of dancing, so at the <br>> most it'll be 3 dances. With 2 jigs and 2 reels I can make this work. <br>> The question is "which ones?" And that's where you all come in. I'm <br>> looking for recommendations for a small assortment of simple, enjoyable <br>> tunes for community dancing. As a non-musican, I have no idea which <br>> tunes are easy to pick up quickly and which aren't, so I'm hoping some <br>> of you can help me out.<br>> <br>> Kalia Kliban<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Callers mailing list<br>> Callers@lists.sharedweight.net<br>> http://lists.sharedweight.net/listinfo.cgi/callers-sharedweight.net<br></div>
