I'm with you, Gillymor. I'm just beginning to play for dancers, and much of the music is too fast for me. However, the other musicians have encouraged me to 'hang in there,' and perhaps the speed will come.

For today's dance I noticed a few places where the chords were dead wrong, but I said nothing, because the music goes so fast that nobody will notice.

I like the play the tunes slower, alone and at home, so I can enjoy the subtleties.
