With Andrew Smith's expert leadership we enjoyed several energetic local favorite dances - Bauldy Bain's Fiddle, The Whiteadder Jig and Early Morning Reel (by local dancer Eric Dodson) - we were glad of the big floor fans augmenting the A/C! To end the Branch Year with a flourish, an extra Social is planned for June 26th. This will be a Southern Celebration of the Music Makars' new CD - Jig for Joy. As the Branch is finishing the fiscal year well in the black, this event will be _FREE_ to all comers. However, we do have some Jig for Joy T-shirts which will be sold for $10.00 - this money to go to the Music Makars to help offset the expense of producing this super CD. The program and instructions for some of the dances are attached - simple dances were chosen or substituted as much as possible, as brain-fade tends to set in during the summer! -- Becky Sager, Marietta GA USA http://www.mindspring.com/~atlbrnch --------------1323CE1686E Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="JIGJOY.DOC" [MyWriter12310606101005] page Atlanta Branch RSCDS presents: Jig for Joy The Southern Celebration Friday,June 26th, 1998, 7:30 p.m. First Presbyterian Church, 189 Church Street,Marietta GA (on June 6th, the Music Makars are hosting a dance in Pennsylvania to celebrate their new recording.
