I think it can be fun when the band sings a bit. Besides Redwing/Union Maid, others for
which I know at least some lyrics include old-time fiddle tunes like Cluck Old Hen, Greasy
Coat, Liza Jane, Sandy Boys, Coleman's March, etc. And some Quebecois ones too (La
Bastringue!)
I also think it's fun when the dancers do (think Nelson dancers with Chorus Jig, or
Maine dancers on occasion with Sandy Boys ("Oh Sandy Boys!") or a Quebecois one
(maybe Dedicado a Jos?) that just begs for loud la-la-las.
