tend to use for this stuff -- a variety of lengths, but basically all

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!
