I am delighted that Boston CDS wants us back and has invited to open their fall season of newcomer-friendly English Country Dances in Harvard Square. Once again, “Mad Robin” is Van Kaynor (fiddle), John Hicks (guitar), Mark Proctor (percussion), and Cammy Kaynor (fiddle, recorder, calls). We’re looking forward to a thrilling evening of dances including a few originals and some new ones I have picked up lately along with our standard Playford repertoire.
