35th ANNIVERSARY DANCE FP callers coordinated by Bob Isaacs Contra Rebels: Henry Koretzky – guitar; Todd Clewell – fiddle; Barb Schmid – fiddle; Aaron Blouin - bass
The year was Nineteen Eighty-Four and Big Brother ensured there would be no enjoyment of the process of life. Risking arrest for thoughtcrimes, Swingin’ Tern Dances burst on the scene to change this dystopia to a contropia. Tyranny turned to twirls and revolutions became swings. The Ministry of Truth became the Ministry of Fun and the Inner Party became the Party for All. Doublethink became double progression and 2 +2 = 5 was revised back to 2 + 2 = hands four. 35 years later we’re still rebelling with Contra Rebels. Don’t miss this, by George, Or well, you might just end up in Room 101.
January 19:
Peter Stix Rhythmic Heart: Doug Healy – guitar, mandolin, djembe; Norma Castle – flute; Robin Russell - keyboard
Peter ferries us across the River Stix, past the Contra Cerberus, into a Hades chain. Like a danse macabre, we Dante up our soft soles in those infernal circle dances. Before you flatline, Rhythmic Heart will give you a beat for some contra coroners with tunes to wake the dead. Don’t pay the ferryman until he gets you to Swingin’ Tern. Then pass through to the other side, giving in to your demon desire to set the floor on fire.
