Coming up in ten days is the 200th anniversary of Hull's Victory-- August 19, 1812. Callers who have a dance on that weekend might want to mark the occasion by calling the dance if it's appropriate for your crowd and if the musicians can play the name tune.
This afternoon, I called Hull's Victory (for the first time) for the Challenging Contra Dance crowd in Montpelier VT. Crowfoot did a fantastic job playing the tune and even came up with a fantastic change tune (that escapes me for the moment - it was French Canadian!).
Thanks for planting the idea to call the dance. The crowd really enjoyed it. Chris Weiler Craftsbury, VT
