Here's You Tube user "Fukuda Banjo," from Japan, doing an excellent, steady rendition of one of my favorite tunes. Such a crisp sound and a nice tempo. I usually play it faster, but enjoy the slowdown here.
Does anyone know of a dance that could be called to this tune? I play contra dances here in Indy, and think this would be a great tune to dance to, with the low beginning to the A part. But whenever the band gets together, we immediately jettison any tune that isn't 64 beats. I'd love to find dances that work with these off-kilter tunes. Would a square dance work? I'm not sure how those are supposed to be timed, but understand that they don't require the precision of a contra.
