Music for all the dances of the 2020 CD*NY Playford Ball
This is the 28th annual home recording made to help dancers prepare for the ball, continuing a venerable tradition established by the late Wayne Batcheler, long-time supporter of CD*NY. Longways dances are recorded 3 times through (4 times for triple minor dances), while the set dances are recorded as many times as needed to dance them completely.
This year’s Ball marks a turning point for our dance community: The relocation to Delaware of longtime Ball registrars Ellie Hansen and Bob Erenburg. We honor them with this CD and we salute their many contributions to CD*NY over decades of dancing.
