Tentative sets for the 3/2 swat contra

Unless things change (more people, etc) laurie and helen are going to be playing melody on nearly all tunes. We might work out more interesting arrangements later.
TunesPeopleTiming and Notes
Galopede / Sandy Boys (set) Jeff: mandolin, Chris: guitar First tune
Hommage a Edmond Parizeau / Bus Stop Reel (set) Jeff: guitar Sometime before the set containing Dedicado a Jos
Road to Lisdoonvarna / Pirates / Colerain (set) Chris: piano Middle of first half
Waking up at Six / Cascade Chris: guitar Sometime in the second half
Catharsis (Bb) / Catharsis (Gm) Jeff: guitar Right before break. The Bb version is the same notes as the Gm version, but swung a bit, and with the alternate chords. It's played slower than the Gm version but only slightly -- not half time.
Weary / Dedicado a Jos / Franks Reel (set without frank's) Jeff: guitar, Chris: mandolin We were also thinking of playing this with the Hommage a EP B part stuck in for this B part one of the times.
Reel for King George / Return of the Sun / Old Grey Cat (set)    
Staten Island / Beth Cohen's (set) Jeff: guitar, Chris: mandolin  
Swallowtail Jig and Harmony / Some jig. Maybe Chris's Flight of Dragons Chris: guitar Harmony on flute, other melody on normal. Start with harmony for one time through before melody comes in.
Battle of Naskeag modified somehow to be 32 bars or replaced by something else peaceful (suggestions?) / Hurry Over / The Flying Tent Chris: piano Probably end with this.
Julia Delaney / Wizard's Walk (set) Chris: guitar To go with Wizard's Walk dance
Flying on Home to Shelly Jeff: guitar Prettyness.
Nash House / The Reconciliation / 4x Louie Louie chorus in A (32 bars) / Tamlin (set) Jeff: guitar  
Sheebeg Sheemore   First waltz?
Star of the County Down with Harmony   Play at the end, act like we're done, (go slow) go into reel version, not worry overmuch if people stop dancing?
Southwind with Harmony   Another nice waltz.
