Chiropractor's Rag

That's the name of one of the dances we did at the North Whitefield fourth Friday contradance tonight. The caller was Sue Rosen, and the band was Glen Loper, John Pranio & Bruce Rosen. Great energy, lots of fun, and many friendly faces including a woman I met a couple weeks ago... She is visiting here from North (or South?) Carolina for a few weeks, and is getting in as many contradances as possible. It was fun to see her again! There was also another new face, this was a young man who got picked up hitchhiking and invited to come to the dance, such a great community of people...
Earlier this afternoon we met at our friend and guitar player Paul's house for band practice. This is how dedicated he is... he cut the end of his thumb with his table saw... nasty gouge out of the tissue... but still he wants to play! We are scheduled to play a community dance tomorrow in Washington ME... we aren't sure Paul will be up to it once his thumb starts to swell and be painful (which is what WE think will happen) but he feels pretty sure he'll still be coming out to play with us... What a guy :)
Chiropractor's Rag may have been written by Sue Rosen, but we haven't confirmed that yet. It was a really fun dance on a hot, sweaty night... lots of walking moves with very little body contact :)
