Friends in Music,The Norfolk contra dance season starts in about three weeks.
The OBeX will be the opening band and YOU can be part of the music!
We'll meet at 6:15pm to discuss the finer points of playing as a contra dance band and practice those nuanced techniques aimed at wowing the dancers. The caller will be Virginia Varland from Richmond, a good caller who knows her way around the dance floor.
Hope to see you there. Let me know if you have any questions and be sure to invite a friend or two so they can eXperience the joy of community music and dance.
In Music,
Steve
P.S. The OBeX has not yet been scheduled for Richmond. I'll let you know if/when that comes to pass.
