French Country Dance

This category differs from the Continental in that it consists of French Country Dance music. This is a rather rough and ready style involving accordions, hurdy-gurdys, fiddles and bagpipes, and must be heard to be believed. It always makes people smile and sometimes dance. Jena and I teach French country dancing, which is, of course, the perfect compliment to this music. We call the group Les Campagnards, a loose configuration of 2 to 5 individuals including Alan Keith, Bruce Culbertson, Jena Rauti and myself (and sometimes Barbara Slone) who are prepared to make you happy. We recently played at the Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco for the members only opening of the Toulouse Lautrec show.
