Pete's Posse: Twin fiddles in tight, wild harmony over high-powered guitar and pounding footwork with mandolin, clawhammer banjo, jawharp and rocking keyboards adding their voices to the mix. Songs and tunes, old and new, lyrical and driving: that’s the multi-generational heart and mind of PETE’S POSSE, at work and at play.

(0:00 - 5:52) "The Bunny Tree" (Oliver Scanlon)

From Adina: “I believe [Susan Kevra] wrote the A1 as circle left 3/4, pass thru to a new neighbor, but I usually call it the way I did in [this] video.”

REMARKS: The Spanish Ballroom is a superb dance venue. Built in 1933 and restored in 2003, the art deco style ballroom has a wonderful, 7,700 SF sprung maple floor which can easily handle 6 lines of dancers.

This was the first contra after the break. There were four lines before the break and three lines after.
