"or hold a performance license from BMI and ASCAP"
Note that this only applies to music from groups who have registered with
BMI or ASCAP, which wouldn't include a lot of contra dance musicians.  So
best to ask!

  Amy, hi.. looks like you sent that reply only to
me and I bought the
 album, what, 30ish years ago? I'll copy the list on this reply.
 The guys were out here in Maine just after Ted Sannella died to play the
 North Whitefield dance. It was a really cold November night. Ted was buried
 within earshot of the hall and after the dance, we hiked down to his grave
 and Claude played "Lady of the Lake" on fiddle. It was below freezing, and
 we all had a moment. That was KGB for ya!!!

 I can attest to the great music on KGB's "Volga Notions" album. We've
 used it for situations where there was no band. Dave, Claude, and Julie are
 superb musicians and composers. Get ahold of Dave and buy that thing!

 Seattle contra dance band, KGB,'s CD "Volga Notions" has dance length
 tune medleys. Not old timey, but really really great. The band, Dave
 Bartley, Julie King, and Claud Ginsburg, is no longer together after 31
 years (so sad), but you can get the album from Dave on his website.

 *Subject:* [Callers] Full-length tunes for a dance
 I recently got approached to call for a church social. Unfortunately,
 it's the same weekend as a huge area fiddle festival, and I'm not able to
 get a live band in spite of reaching out widely. I'm looking for
 downloadable full-length dance music (I'm completely willing to purchase).
 I prefer old-time tunes, but New England style would also work.
 Thanks!
