I'm heading off shortly (Weds. evening, 6/8) for an event that is not a dance event, but at which I've been asked to lead a short community dance session on "honky tonk night." The band for this is _not_ a traditional dance band. They're more of a garage band with bar-band aspirations. I wrote to them several weeks ago to check in about music, and when I didn't hear back, wrote again about a week ago. Then again, and finally heard back right as I was getting ready to leave for the airport for a weekend gig, from which I've just returned. Their contact person tells me that sheet music would be useful, which puts me in the position of trying to figure out a very small assortment of tunes to send them. We're doing about 1/2 hour of dancing, so at the most it'll be 3 dances. With 2 jigs and 2 reels I can make this work. The question is "which ones?" And that's where you all come in. I'm looking for recommendations for a small assortment of simple, enjoyable tunes for community dancing. As a non-musican, I have no idea which tunes are easy to pick up quickly and which aren't, so I'm hoping some of you can help me out.
