Calling at a Birthday Party |

calling, contra |
Saturday night I called for a birthday party. I was really excited
to be calling because I'd known the family for at least a decade and
like them a lot. Full tilt was playing, and they're a lot of fun t
work with. The group was a little tricky, as parties can often be,
because the group was such a mix. I called (I'm not sure I'm
remembering the order):
- La Bastringue
- Haste to the Wedding
- A Ceilidh Dance
- Broken Sixpence
- Midwest Folklore
- Kerry Sets
- FARTing Around
- Over the Hill and Still Chased
Overall, I think it went well and people had a good time. I do need to find a few more fun simple dances, though, as I was definitely feeling a lack a few times.
