Scandinavian heavy metal tunes of Viking pirates I bet. The woman in the middle looks like one of those 60's radicals. I bet she eats health foods and has never practiced the pro-America ritual of moose hunting.

Thank you, friends.

William, nothing about my blue dress?

Trine, we played traditional dance and walking tunes of Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland.

Great photo Alison. Love the blue dress. :)

Haven't heard any of the walking tunes for years. Public Radio in this area doesn't do Scandinavian.
Cheryl W. Oct 26, 2008, 2:46pm EDT
Very cool shot! I'd love to hear you all play....:)

Verie Sandborg Oct 27, 2008, 4:45pm EDT
How much fun! I wish I could keep active in music (vocal), but my throat has gone too dry to sing anymore.
Lucky Stars Oct 27, 2008, 8:01pm EDT
Nice photo, Alison.
Walking tunes, eh? I'm not familiar with them. Is there a link I can here some of this music?
Alison H. Oct 27, 2008, 10:06pm EDT
Go to youtube and type in ganglat, Bobbi. You'll get an idea of walking tunes. You could also type in polska, pols, vals, brudsmarsch, schottis......
Kay S. Oct 28, 2008, 10:43am EDT

Dance of the Universe-- bazgray©9-20- 2008-

Come to see me Come to see me

Let me open the door

There is a candle burning bright

Near the white sandy shore

In the palm of an angel

Who brings peace to the earth

For the waves and grassy moor

And so we all come together

And dance upon the waves

To the Music of the Spheres

Lets dance before the Sunset
And let the tears flow
To make a rainbow of love
That brightens our sky
Bringing joy to a weary land
From the Music of the Spheres.

So we vote to bring a change
And the vote went well
For now we dance the night away
And peer down upon the bell
Of liberty and justice and
Check our breath while driving
Home the truth to those who
Cannot understand that
Give me a drink or give me love
Could send me to a bed of wrath.

Lets dance before the Sunset
And let the tears flow
To make a rainbow…...
Digital Diva S. Nov 5, 2008, 11:01am EST
