   Bill has sent out a notice for the last regular dance of the Tuesday   
   Night Square Dances in Philadelphia, PA. This was started as weekly   
   dance in 1974, by Peter Taney (Juggernaut String Band) in the basement   
   of the Christian Association on the University of Pennsylvania campus   
   and then moved to  the Parish Hall of St. Mary's Church. Later, the   
   caller Stretch Pyott, moved the dance to the International House.  It's   
   hay day was in the 1970s where weekly from about 130 to 230 dances would   
   show up. The dance was then run by a co-op of callers, musicians and   
   dancers. Since International House changed the room into a theater, the   
   dance has moved back to the Parish Hall of St. Mary's Church where it   
   was run by Beverly Smith and then by Bill Masi and became a monthly   
   dance (2nd Tuesday).

   Hi Everyone,   
   Good news and bad news! We're having our December 12th Square Dance at St.   
   Mary's Parish Hall next week with calling by the incomparable Pete   
   LaBerge and   
   an all-star band put together by Ray Frick [Ray Frick - percussion,   
   Barbara Johnson - fiddle, Jann Glider - guitar, John Mahony - accordian,   
   Laura Johnson - bass, Carl Baron - banjo, Chris "you can call me Pokey"   
   Griffith (of the Bubble Heads) - sound].   
      
   The bad news! Our monthly dance is taking a break. This will be our   
   final square dance for a few months, possibly returning in June for the   
   pot-luck/dance or earlier. We sincerely appreciate the efforts of all   
   the bands, callers and dancers that have supported the dance through   
   it's long Philadelphia dance history.We'll keep you posted.   
      
   So, come on out next Tuesday and celebrate the Dance and the holidays   
   with us!
