Dance Around Molly


I'm not really sure anyone named Molly is in this photo, but the name of the tune was kind of fun, and I thought would fit this photo.
Last night was the regular second Saturday dance that is held at the Westcustago Grange in North Yarmouth. The evening starts with a family dance from 6:00-7:30, and features caller Kathryn Larson, and the band Jeff & Maggie and friends (Richard and I make a good effort to play here). There is a potluck supper from 7:30-8:30 (Lots of wholesome and interesting foods) at which time the regular dance starts. Last night's caller was Barb Kirschner and the band was Wake the Neighbors. Lots of fun! Richard got quite a few nice photographs throughout the evening, and he took time out to dance a few contras and a waltz with his adoring wife!
We've been a little preoccupied with activities surrounding the house we're buying in Wayne, and have missed a couple of jam sessions. It was really good to get out and see musicians and dancers alike... it helps us stay focused on 'what we're all about' as we go through this period of transition.
Dance Around Molly can be found in the Phillips Collection of Traditional American Fiddle Tunes which you may remember has the quilt on the front cover, and was sold through the Janet Davis Music Company!
For anyone who is interested in attending a contradance and wants more information, contact us and we'd be happy to answer questions... maybe even carpool if that works out!
