The conversation kicked off with some reflections on their individual paths to playing for contra dances, from classical music lessons, to dances when they were younger, and other fiddle traditions, They also discuss how they found a supportive environment for musicians in general, but especially folks who identify as queer. In between playing music, we also get into topics like choosing tune sets, devising arrangements, being conscious of a musical arc, and how uplifting it is to play for people who are so responsive to your musical offerings. Just really, they were just really bright spirits! I think you can hear the smiles in their voices."}
