Amy, hi.. looks like you sent that reply only to me and I bought the album, what, 30ish
years ago? I'll copy the list on this reply.
The guys were out here in Maine just after Ted Sannella died to play the North Whitefield
dance. It was a really cold November night. Ted was buried within earshot of the hall and
after the dance, we hiked down to his grave and Claude played "Lady of the Lake"
on fiddle. It was below freezing, and we all had a moment. That was KGB for ya!!!

I can attest to the great music on KGB's "Volga Notions" album. We've
used it for situations where there was no band. Dave, Claude, and Julie are superb
musicians and composers. Get ahold of Dave and buy that thing!

Seattle contra dance band, KGB,'s CD "Volga Notions" has dance length tune
medleys. Not old timey, but really really great. The band, Dave Bartley, Julie King, and
Claud Ginsburg, is no longer together after 31 years (so sad), but you can get the album
from Dave on his website.

Subject: [Callers] Full-length tunes for a dance
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!
