We mostly use recordings for ECD. I use software to seamlessly make the tunes longer. Audacity is multi-platform and free, but I use a Mac (only) program called Toast.

There is an on-going discussion on the Organizers of Contra Dances Facebook group on finding dance-length recordings:

Deborah,

Couldn't find your direct email

All the old time tracks from Face the Creek and Jump Fingers can be downloaded at:

There is a doc in the Jump fingers folder with all the liner notes.  I am sure you will recognize most if not all the bands

I recently got approached to call for a church social. Unfortunately, it's the same weekend as a huge area fiddle festival, and I'm not able to get a live band in spite of reaching out widely. I'm looking for downloadable full-length dance music (I'm completely willing to purchase). I prefer old-time tunes, but New England style would also work. 

Thanks!
