WHAT’S HAPPENING?

STEP-A-TUNE DANCE WEEKEND
The 3rd annual Step-a-Tune Dance Weekend takes place November 6 – 8, 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 instructor/organizers Becky Hill and Sharon Leahy know how to bring the challenges. This year’s guest dancer/instructor is the Nic Gariess, one of the finest percussive dancers currently on the scene. Musicians Rachel Eddy and Rick Good return this year to keep the tunes flowing.

WHAT’S BEEN HAPPENING

HAPPY HOLLOW OLD-TIME MUSIC GATHERING
We were long past due for our first trip to Happy Hollow where we spent some quality time with the fine folks in the Athens area old-time music scene.

Those who were looking to spend a few days this Fall camping and jamming with pals, attending workshops with well-known old-time musicians, and enjoying a concert followed by a lively square dance and a cozy campfire, surely found it at the Happy Hollow Old-Time Music Gathering in the scenic hills of Southeast Ohio, September 24th to the 27th.

The evening square dances, expertly called by Sharon Leahy, were capital F-U-N fun, and the music, played by Erynn Marshall, Carl Jones, Whitt Mead, Rhys Jones, Abby Ladin, Sam Bartlett and, of course Rick Good, was rocket fueled.

WHEATLAND MUSIC FESTIVAL
It’s the Festival closest to ours hearts! This September 11 – 13, we returned to Central Michigan with an all-star dance and music show we called Hill & Leahy’s Old Time Dance Party.


Hill & Leahy’s Old Time Dance Party

Dancers Becky Hill, Meredith Krygowski, Brian Lawton, Sharon Leahy, Sara Rowbottom, Adam Wheeler, Beth Wright, Violet Wright and Emma Young were accompanied by musicians Ben Cooper, Rachel Eddy, Rick Good, Rhys Jones and Tom T. Ball. This stellar lineup brought the 2026, Wheatland Music Festival exactly the kind of show they’ve come to love.

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 16th to the 22nd, 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 is. This was the second year featuring an expanded percussive dance track for beginner to advanced dancers. It included daily classes of drills, improvisation and choreography, taught by the formidable team of Sharon Leahy, Becky Hill, Matt Gordon and Sara Rowbottom.

NEWEST RELEASES

OLD GLORY
an album of original protest songs by Rick Good
exclusively available for digital download on Bandcamp

Fighting for justice and exposing injustice have long been topics for song. In the 20th century, American folk music and the songs of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger paved the way for a rich tradition of topical songs that never stop singing truth to power.

Sometimes these songs seem to have a short shelf life, but the underlying intent to hold accountable those who seek wealth and power at the expense of others is timeless.

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.
