There was live music for all classes
The impromptu after-party started with a sing-a-long lead by Kathleen McAdam and Ellie Briscoe. Then various musicians started showing up - eventually piano, four fiddles, mandolin, drums, clarinet, and a mouth piano. At one point Rick Wood was playing the buttons of his accordion while Susie Petrov played the keys with her right hand and the keys of the mouth piano with her left while Robyn Dondero provided the wind. At another point, Barbara McGowan and Margo Leslie-Post played their fiddles with linked arms. Bruce Tomczyk played clarinet while various people attempted line dances. After some belly dancing and some more sing-a-long the party broke up at a quarter to five a.m.!
