Fourgone Conclusions Contra Dance Music from Western Massachusetts FHR-029CD $12.00 Here's a long overdue re-issue of one of the best darned recordings of dance music ever! Recorded in 1983, Fourgone is a band of seven musicians and thirteen instruments, heavy on fiddles and light on rehearsals. Their irreverence and spontaneity defy formal arrangement of the tumes. But even though the Fourgones never play a tune the same way twice, they do have a distinctive sound...it'll make you smile right off the bat, and you'll want to hear it over and over again. The musicians are Cammy Kaynor, Van Kaynor, David Kaynor, Ed Kaynor, Allan MacIntire, Becky Ashenden, and Nick Hawes. 29 Tunes: Lady Walpole’s Reel; Joey’s Hornpipe; Snowflake Breakdown; President Garfield’s Hornpipe; Wellington Jig; Handel-Bars; The Autumn Waltz; Polska Efter Skinner Albin Larsson; Bellman’s Jig & Reel; Bonnie Banchory; Irlandaise; Another One; Behind The Bush In The Garden; Lochiel’s Welcome; Blue Mountain Rag; Richard’s Jig; Bilgewater Jig; Tobin In The Morning; Chorus Jig; Drowsy Maggie; Dancing Bear; Lastowski’s Polka; Two Swedish Schottises; Lloyd of Binghamton; Frenchie’s Reel; The Crooked Stovepipe; J.B.
