Rickey,
Are you familiar with Katushka?
http://www.dulcimers.com/tunes/katushka.html
The midi sample on that page is pretty slow, but you'll get the idea. I'm
sure there are better recordings.
The Monday Night Band in Louisville Ky uses this pretty often, and it's fun
for the crowd to sing the A part: "La la la la la..."

Hi, I have a dance with a stolen title. The title is "Another Midnight
Tango", stolen from Mike Richardson's title "Midnight Tango". Now
what
would
be really cool would be a tune that we could contra dance to that would be
as close to, or reminiscent of, a dark sultry tango as possible. Any
suggestions? It would be most helpful if we could find a source for that
tune (especially online) and if the tune was not overly hard to play - as
this would be for this Saturday's Valentine's Day Dance, if all of these
stars align.
Rickey Holt.
