Well, I was appreciating it as one of the (former) dancers, and as a rhythm junkie. I can't say I have ever had the pleasure myself of playing for dancers. But I get a similar thrill out of providing the foundation for Hardi when he gets going on a fiddle tune, and out of getting to lay back and accompany the congregation when they take hold of a hymn that's especially zippy. And when we jam with our bods and especially now that we are exploring bluegrass...

And I was appreciating the turn of phrase Luke used, as well as a heart that feels and thinks like that... I hope we can approximate that sense when we jam at our Gathering, and now, dang! I'll have to see about how autoharp (or washboard) could do for dancing! Sheesh! Just when I think I have run out of things to do with the dang things! And I'll have to break out (FIND!!) the Therapeutic Claves before the Gathering too... they bounce in the nicest sort of dotted triplets... oh yes, dotted triplets... don't get me started!
