Summary
"Here is the story of what happened when a ten-thousand-year-old musical tradition was put into the hands of a seventeen-year-old Boston boy in 1947. Traditional music has been a dependable oasis in the long American pilgrimage. Folk dance joins us together, lifting us out of inhibitions, anxieties, and our acculturated need to exert control. The Yankee instinct for community art has been the inspiration behind Dudley Laufman's life-long stewardship of country dance, which is the story at the heart of this book"--Back cover.
