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!
