WPR TTBOOK podcast: Just Dance

Wisconsin Public Radio show "To The Best Of Our Knowledge" podcast entitled "Just Dance":
http://www.ttbook.org/book/dance

"06.29.2014

Since the Fourth of July falls on a Friday this year, we assume most people will be going to see fireworks, so we're cancelling Friday night folk dancing that night, July 4, 2014.
