This little fraulein with her authentic dirndl from Germany matches the band perfectly. She attended one of our events recently and sang and yodeled with the band. She was the star of the show!

"A Touch of Brass" playing for the Christmas shoppers at the Greendale Mall in December, 2005. The music carried beautifully throughout the whole mall. I strolled the mall and talked to store owners who appreciated the live music rather than the canned music which is usually played at the mall. They knew it was live music even though they could not see the musicians and their comment was "What a difference!"

"Mixed Grille Finnish Package" playing at Sovitajaa (Finn Park) in Rutland, MA in September, 2005



 

Look at the variety and quantity of food at the "Harvest Buffet" which we played for at Sovitajaa (Finn Park) in September. There was a Brownie troop there earning a badge for folk dancing and they danced the schotische like pros. Then we did "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" in Finnish and gave the girls a book mark with the words on them. They also danced the "Chicken Dance", complete with chicken hats. I hope they come back next year. It was such a fun night.
