HI to all
Another question to you, a group with good opinions about what you want.
With the many dances from the favourite dance list that we have seen
on the Strathspey Server or from your own area, which of these would
you like to have a new recordings of?

Which of the 2 cpl dances that have been recorded 8 times through,
would you like recorded again  6 times through.

Using the recommended tunes to the dance for those dances that have
such recommendation of course.

Do you have tunes that you would like to have a recording of in a dance?

Would you like  a Sing a Long CD to dance to????

For those who have seen the old greats come and go what sound did they
have that you would like to hear again, that just cannot be recaptured
with the redubbing or remastering of the old records.Do you have
suggestions?

It seems even though we do have a great many bands recording CDs,
there is still people who want more to finish their collection of
recorded music.

You the Strathspey group have good choices. The  musicians who are
reading your postings can make decisions as to what to produce when
they have the sources and energy to give of their talent.

Responses of course should be sent to the Strathspey Server, those who
want to ask questions of me, send to xxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx

Cheers
Marie

Any or all;  just so we have a choice when using recordings.  A 6x32 
set with The De'il's Awa ... would be nice.

>Do you have tunes that you would like to have a recording of in a dance?

A set for The Corner House Jig (8x32; maybe with all Andrew Rankine 
tunes?) would be nice.

Well, we're using Glayva and The Duke of Atholl's Reel quite a bit 
these days.  Always Handy when you only have 12 dancers turn up.
	There's always The Happy Meeting, Kendall's Hornpipe, 
Sean Truibhas Willichan, The Lammermuir Hills The Sauchie 
Haugh, Alltshellach and a new version of The Duchess of Atholl's 
Slipper wouldn't come amiss.
	Well ---- :~)

Happy Dancing,
Ron   :)
