Yankee Dancers


Saturday night was the regular 2nd Saturday Family Dance at Westcustago Hall in North Yarmouth. Richard and I play at that dance in the 'house band' which is 'Maggie & Jeff & Friends'. It was really hard the first time we played a few months ago, much faster tempo than we were used to. Althought it's still a good amount of work, we're feeling a LOT more comfortable these days, and having a pile of FUN. In this photo you can see the dancers getting into formation and receiving their initial instructions from the caller.

Yankee Dancers is a jig written by Frank Ferrel, found in the Portland Collection, Volume 2.
