CASSETTES

casyellow.jpg (11691 bytes) TEN TOE PERCUSSION  (LISTENING TAPE)
An audio tape of live performances by Ira Bernstein.  That is, the sounds of Ira's dancing along with the music.  The musicians are some of the best traditional musicians in the country including Kevin Burke, Pete Sutherland, Lisa Ornstein, Ernie Carpenter, Brad Leftwich, Gerry  Milnes and others.  Styles include Appalachian, Irish, English, French-Canadian, and tap dancing.  A major number of the pieces are Appalachian.
$10
OLD-TIME DANCE PARTY  (PRACTICE TAPE)
A great practice tape for Appalachian clogging.  Features six  8-minute medleys of old-time music (traditional fiddle tunes) played by a great band led by old-time fiddle virtuoso Bruce Molsky.   It's up-tempo, so it's not meant for slow learning.   But once you've got the steps up to  speed, there's no better practice tape than this one.
