jets How many of us play in a traditional band. (102* d) RE: How many of us play in a tradional band. 17 Mar 99


My band is called Raaticoon named after the old Finnish dance called Raatticoon. The Finns say but you have misspelled the name but I point out that the dance has two Ts The name of the band has but one T. We play mostly old traditional Finnish dance tunes that I learned from an up state New Yorker who had learned them from his father.Some of the songs are so old that he did not recall the names, so he and his dad renamed them to what ever struck there fancy. Also on the play list are old Arcadian songs such as Arcadia is my native land.The Marriage of Jan Pierre is another. WE have a guitar, mandolin ,with myself on the button accordion and I beat on a bass drum with a kick pedal.
