Off She Goes

... and He goes along with her! That's right, it's time for Maine Fiddle Camp :) We're heading out for a fun weekend of music, friends, dance, and delicious food, all in the great outdoors at Camp NEOFA.
Eight years ago, Richard and I were both at Fiddle Camp, and that began our friendship. We'd known each other from the contradances, and had brief conversations up to that point, but Fiddle Camp gave us the opportunity to spend a little more time together playing tunes and talking. Who would have thought back then that we'd be attending Camp together?
Off She Goes is a nice jig that can be found in the New England Fiddler's Repertoire and the Fiddler's Fakebook.
You can hear us playing this jig, along with other jigs and reels, at upcoming events such as:
June 23 as part of the Heritage Days festivities at the Norlands in Livermore
June 23 Contradance in Wayne at the Ladd Center
July 4 Contradance in Winthrop at the Town Office Parking Lot
July 20 Contradance in Manchester NH
