MissouriMud,
here in the Uk....almost everything recorded is about 7 times through...so the "old Folks" aren't used to anything more!. So if I'm using the CD's at our clubs, they don't really have to be great lengths.
The Ceilidh scene is however different and 13 or 14 times through isn't unusual ....but there again, the ceilidh scene doesn't do New England Contras. I'm between a rock and a hard place!!
