Thanks, Maia, and everyone else in this helpful and caring community who came to my rescue
so quickly! What a great resource Shared Weight is (thank YOU, Chris!). Val
P.S. to Maia. The "fish band" referenced by Steve in "Salmon 'Chanted
Evening" was probably "Fresh Fish": Kerry Elkin (fiddle), Gordon Perry
(piano), Tom Hodgson (guitar). These musicians and Steve, along with other Northeast area
callers, musicians, contra dancers, Appalachian-style cloggers, French Canadian step and
social dancers (from Quebec), singers, and children (to show play party games) traveled
with the Green Mountain Volunteers (GMV) dance troupe in 1985, on a 6-week performing tour
of Western and Eastern Europe. The tour was organized by GMV's Burlington,
Vermont-based founders, Ben Bergstein and April Werner. I believe that Fresh Fish became a
band on or shortly after that trip.

helping me solve problems I didn't even know I had!

(note: when calling this dance, you must explain the title. The A section
comes from a dance that Steve wrote while calling with... some fish-themed
band, I don't remember, and it was called "Salmon 'Chanted Evening."
And of
course, when you talk the first half of "Salmon 'Chanted Evening" and add
"Petronella" you get...)

Here's a few:
Tic-a-Tic-a-Timing Becket-L / Dean Snipes
I've seen this title spelled at least 4 different ways. Anyone know which
one is right? And it's a great dance!
