Members:
Peter Barnes - piano, guitar, 5-string banjo
Hank Chapin - acoustic bass (& massages)
Donna Hinds / Hébert - fiddle
Jack O'Connor - mandolin, fiddle, tenor guitar, tenor banjo
Joan Pelton - bodhran
Tony Parkes - piano, dance calling
This is a great band and a great first recording, all dance length tracks. It was first released as an LP by Alcazar and you could purchase it with or without calling by Tony Parkes, and excellent New England contra dance caller, teacher, choreographer and musician. Later it was released as a double length cassette, with calls on one side and without on the other and still available for purchase if you do a search. It's great fun, the dance music and the dances, and a fine line up of musicians.
So I'm looking for a digital copy of "Star of the County Down" originally recorded on this album. Anyone know of such release? To the people who played on this album I could digitize it for you but you would be better going back to the original tape.

"Kitchen Junkey" vs. "Kitchen Junket"
What a hoot. I just stumbled on this, but being a 'kitchen junkey' as well as being into 'junkets', maybe it was psychic crossfire...

Oh yeah, now corrected from 'Junkey' to 'Junket'...
