Thread Name: How to End An Evening
Subject: RE: How to End An Evening
I think that's a good way to end an evening of singing.

We close our evenings of English Country Dance with a romantic couples' waltz. It's popular with the dancers, and it's a reward for the band.

When I was doing folk dance, we closed with a sweetly sad Greek song in which an old woman lamented that her family had gone off to work in other countries, leaving her alone. The teacher told us he hadn't known it had become the final song until the night he played it and to his surprise everyone went home. I'm sorry I don't know the name of it.
