"Lost the century" maybe.. hee hee.. I wonder if anyone had the opportunity to call Sacket's last night or possibly tonight (I saw somewhere Sackets II was the 29th). Last year we danced Hull's Victory at Maine Fiddle Camp on the actually anniversary date and as close as we could to the actual time of the battle, which was 2PM on August 19 by most accounts. We took into account the different time zone of course since the ships were off the coast of Halifax..
I still enjoy dancing and calling these old dances and do both pretty often, at least up this way! bill > From: [email protected] > Date: Wed, 29 May 2013 13:41:35 -0400 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Callers] Callers Digest, Vol 105, Issue 28 > > If you've waited this long, you've kinda lost the moment?
