Coming up in ten days is the 200th anniversary of
Hull's Victory--
August 19, 1812. Callers who have a dance on that weekend might want
to mark the occasion by calling the dance if it's appropriate for your
crowd and if the musicians can play the name tune.
This afternoon, I called Hull's Victory (for the first time) for the
Challenging Contra Dance crowd in Montpelier VT. Crowfoot did a
fantastic job playing the tune and even came up with a fantastic change
tune (that escapes me for the moment - it was French Canadian!).
Thanks for planting the idea to call the dance. The crowd really enjoyed it.
