The Slow One - Dudley Laufman
Dance as called by Lin Cady, though Dudley said he's at a loss as to the title since it was always done at the same speed as every other square. He identifies the tune as Solomon Levi, though the tune here lacks the part found in Solomon Levi squares, where the dancers la-la-la along to the music.
Dudley Laufman calls a program of "Old Time Vermont Square Dances" from the repertoire of Linn Cady. Cady was the dance master at the Sherburne (VT) Center Grange Hall, to which the Farm & Wilderness Camps in nearby Plymouth, VT, took the campers. This was recorded in August, 1989, on the 50 anniversary reunion of F&W Camps. Dudley was calling and fiddling, joined by Jacqueline Gilman Laufman on fiddle and Tony Parkes (a former F&W camper) on piano. Additional instruments (drums, saxophone, banjo) to replicate the sound of Lin Cady's band were added by synthesizer by Dave Fuller to augment the original recording by Slim Harrison.
