February 16th: Saturday: COMMUNITY CONTRA
DANCE with music by Under the Wire and calling by Joseph Erhard-Hudson, at the
1912 Center (Corner of 3rd St and Van Buren in Moscow). 7:30 PM.
Wow, same great caller and same great band as
at the last dance! We had wonderful fun at the january dance, dancers, caller
and band included. Under the Wire is made up of John McInturff on fiddle. A
long time staple of contra dance bands in this area. You've heard is masterful
fiddle playing with the Hired Hands band and more recently with Coyote Hill; amazing
multi-instrumentalist, Greg Hodapp, will be playing banjo, concertina and
perhaps some whistle this time around; David Christian from Captain Ludd's Rant
and Barefoot Saturday will provide the rhythm guitar; and holding everything
together on bass will be Doug Park, veteran of Captain Ludd's Rant, Henry C and
the Willards, Tom Drake and Undiscovered Country and numerous other bands over
the years. Joseph will be calling this dance, so you know that it will be great
fun! Great music and lively dances to keep your feet moving!
