Don Weeda Live Music: 7/14 at Fermilab, 7/15 in Downers Grove
This Friday (July 15) Don Weeda
plans to join us and provide live music for dancing at Argonne Folk Dancing at St. Paul's UCC in Downer's Grove, at our usual 8pm meeting. He has a great
repertoire of our favorite folk dances, and we always enjoy his annual
visit. In an unfortunate coincidence, a theater group that has booked the Fellowship Hall where
we usually dance this week, so we will instead be located in the
classroom at the far end of the hall. They would prefer if we use the
entrance closer to that end of the building.

We’ve got a special treat of live music by our accordionist friend Don Weeda at Fermilab International folk dancing this week, Thursday, July 14. We’re meeting in the cool of Ramsey Auditorium’s stage in the Fermilab high-rise Wilson Hall, 7:30 – 10 p.m. Don comes up from Texas once a year to visit his mom, and we are so pleased to have him play for dancing, since his repertoire is vast, and his arrangements are always innovative!Here's a youtube video of Don performing Jove Malaj Mome with the 1001 Nights Orchestra:
