WHAT’S BEEN HAPPENING

STEP-A-TUNE DANCE WEEKEND
The 2nd annual Step-a-Tune Dance Weekend took place November 7 – 9, at Floyd EcoVillage, just a few miles from downtown Floyd, Virginia.

The weekend is geared to intermediate/advanced percussive dancers who are looking to challenge themselves, and more than twenty of them showed up this year to find just what they were looking for. Rachel Eddy and Rick Good kept the tunes flowing, fueling the dancers with their inspiring music.

Many thanks to Dylan Locke and Leigh McKagen of the Floyd Country Store and Handmade Music School for hosting us. Next year’s Step-a-Tune Dance Weekend will take place November 6 – 8, 2026.


The Talented Dance Teachers – Becky & Sharon

TRAD ROMP WKND
It was a mini-folk festival when the Trad Romp Wknd held forth at the Foundry Theater in Yellow Springs, October 24, 25 and 26.

Presented by Mad River Theater Works and The Big Family Business, the schedule of concerts, workshops, dances and jam sessions featured local artists Good & Young, Bob Lucas and the Hedgehog String Band, and The Corndrinkers, as well as Bay-Area banjo player, singer, songwriter, dancer and square-dance caller, Evie Ladin, and New York’s Indie-roots trailblazers, The Mammals.

Everyone involved—presenters and participants alike—agreed the event was a success and a 2026, Trad Romp Weekend is a must for our collective future.

ASHOKAN FIDDLE & DANCE
It wouldn’t be summer without our annual trip to Southern Week at Ashokan. For more than forty years, our dear friends, Jay Ungar & Molly Mason have been organizing, hosting and playing beautiful music at the Ashokan Center in upstate New York.

From August 10th to the 16th, there was music, dancing, classes, food and, best of all, the positive energy of a community of wonderful people. If that all sounds like a great way to spend a week, believe us, it was. This year featured an expanded percussive dance track for beginner to advanced dancers, which included daily classes of drills, improvisation and choreography, and were taught by the formidable team of Sharon Leahy, Becky Hill, and Matt Gordon. This years clogging team thundered across the dance pavilion with 22 dancers!

BIG FAMILY BUSINESS
The Family Business is our current catch-all for whatever project we might dream up. When it grows to include our extended family, it’s The BIG Family Business, and that’s where we’ve been busy lately.

Many of you already know about The Foundry Theater, operating in Yellow Springs at the edge of Antioch’s Campus. We’ve seen several good shows there over the past couple of years and naturally it got us thinking of what we might do there ourselves.


Good & Young – Sharon, Rick, Emma and Linzay

On September 21st, Good & Young, our family band with daughter Emma and her husband Linzay, teamed up with our old friend Bob Lucas, his step-daughter Chloe Manor and her husband Chris Westhoff (who happens to be the driving force behind The Foundry Theater), to present a concert of original and traditional songs and tunes, super-charged with clogging to old time music.

To kick it up a notch, former Rhythm in Shoes dancers Beth Wright, along with her daughter, Violet put some sweet icing on the cake along with cousin Becky Hill, world renowned instigator of Terpsichorean delights.


The Dance finale – Violet, Sharon, Becky, Beth and Emma

This multigenerational ensemble of families, with too many decades of performance experience to count, fulfilled their promise to captivate, comfort and amuse. The performance was followed by a community barn dance, with gender neutral instruction designed for all ages and levels.

But that’s not all! On Sunday afternoon we all came back to perform for an enthusiastic group of kids, parents, and supporters of the Antioch School. As they say, a good time was had by all.

NEWEST RELEASE
At the Corner of Jekyll and Hyde
a new album by Rick Good

Yes, you can still call them albums.

Bob Dylan once said, The world don’t need any more songs. They’ve got enough. They’ve got way too many. As a matter of fact, if nobody wrote any songs from this day on, the world ain’t gonna suffer for it. Nobody cares. There’s enough songs for people to listen to, if they want to listen to songs. For every man, woman and child on earth, they could be sent, probably, each of them, a hundred records, and never be repeated. There’s enough songs… Unless someone’s gonna come along with a pure heart and has something to say. That’s a different story.

And Rick says: I wrote these songs over the course of almost fifty years because I had something to say. As for the purity of my heart, that is a work in progress.

And for those of you who remember with fondness the socially conscious folk music of the sixties, our response to a mass shooting in our hometown of Dayton, Ohio, Do Something, is just one example of the original songs Rick has been writing about the ongoing state of our world. You can hear them all on Soundcloud.
