Thread Name: Pronunciation of 'Schottische'?
Subject: RE: Pronunciation of 'Schottische'?
`I grew up near Crater Lake, Oregon with Texas parents. A small little community had a community center and held dances once a month or so. This was in the 1940's We all danced the Schottish was how we said it. I was about 5-11 while dancing this dance. It was my favorite and so much fun. A local family played the music, Gibsons, had a sax, piano, guitar, bass, I believe. I loved watching the piano player.We left there and moved to Northern Calif. in 1951 and I never heard the Schottish again.
