[Musicians] SW gatherings at Ralph Page

Hello everyone! This weekend is the Ralph Page Dance Legacy Weekend at the University of New Hampshire in Durham. As usual, it will be a wonderful gathering of dancers, callers and musicians to celebrate the history our wonderful tradition and those who continue to make it live. We have a blast and you won't find a group of dancers that is more elegant, fun, warm and friendly out there. As usual, on both Saturday and Sunday, SW has encouraged list participants (and those of a like mind) to push some tables together in the dining area and discuss matters related to dancing, calling, organizing or playing music for dances. We just geek right out for an hour or so! You're all welcome to join in and participate. It's a wonderful opportunity to meet and hang out with some fantastic people who provide such sage advice on our lists. My wife, Anne Obelnicki, and I will be there this year after sadly missing last year's. I look forward to meeting many new people from the list and greeting many old friends. Happy Dancing!

A highly recommended festival for those interested in the history of our tradition and meeting many of the people who made it possible for us to do this. http://ralphpage.neffa.org/
