Hi folks -
You might recall that I was looking for the dance Oddville
(Ad Vielle) by Erik Weberg. Karen Fontana asked me to post
it here when I found it.
Well, thanks to your collective knowledge, I was able to
write to Erik directly. He sent back a very kind response
stating that he's now updated his website to include the
dance, and wishes me joy in calling it.
You'll find it at
http://www.kluberg.com/erikcalls.html
It's a terrific dance, and one I hope many of you will try
out and enjoy calling too.
I suspect, though, that part of its wonderfulness that I
felt as a dancer is the way it totally fits the music it
turns out the dance was written FOR... this was an
excellent learning moment for me when I realized that. And
it makes me ponder how we can more often identify & request
tunes (as callers) or choose tunes (as musicians)
specifically for certain dances... have any of you IDed
good pairings like that to suggest? --Or is this line of
questioning getting too Englishy for comfort? <g>
