November 2nd Contradance

We'll be holding our monthly contradance on Friday November 2^nd at the Presbyterian Church in Cooperstown. Music will be by Tailwind and Hilton Baxter will be calling.

Tailwind, a band formerly known as Fancy That, is still made up of the same members. Leader Curt Osgood is well known for his skill on the hammered dulcimer which he has played for over thirty years. 

Joining him are fiddler Henry Jankiewicz and John Wobus on keyboard, both of whom are talented contradance musicians, playing with numerous groups in a wide range of styles.

Together they play a mix of traditional, folk, and old-timey music, including both modern, Celtic and Americana tunes.

Hilton Baxter has called contradances for 20 years at dances throughout central New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and beyond. His dance instructions are clear and his calm gentle style and light sense of fun make the dances easy and enjoyable for everyone, especially when he adds a square or triplet to spice things up

The combination of the dulcimer and fiddle make a unique sound in contradance music so join us on the 2nd and hear for yourself.
