Fiddler's Dream 2009 - 2010

Neil, Elaine, Shelley, Jane, and Janis all headed North to ring in the New Year at Mimi's excellent dance, Fiddler's Dream. They were met by old band members, Gary Blankenship, Joe Barziza, and David Salonimer. We all joined together to provide the music for a 2 hour contra on Saturday afternoon, and the dancers were greatly pleased with our sound. We played a nice selection of our very old favorites. Nobody fell down on the dance floor, and the dancers all gathered around the band at the end of the dance to applaud us, so a good time was had by all. Thanks to our old band members for helping us out with our sound!

Members Come and Go

Well, a fond (and late) farewell to Waldo, who played delightful banjo with us for nigh on a year. We will miss your dulcet voice, Waldo!

And farewell to Gabrielle, as well, who graced our little band with her nimble fingers on the keyboard, and strumming the harp, not to mention the tunes she tinkled out on my glockenspiel from time to time, and the harmonies she improvised on her Alto Recorder. Her sweet disposition, and her musical expertise will be greatly missed!

Welcome back to old members, the two Davids...Christakos on the bazouki, and Salonimer on the guitar! We always need some good rhythm!
