What this episode covers
Julie takes to her porch to talk with Everest Witman, guitarist, mandolinist, and foot percussionist from Nova about his experience growing up in the contra dance scene, DADGAD guitar, contra vs. session playing, and they have a good old rhythm player geek out session about ways that rhythm players can support the dancing. They also talk about Everest’s current interests in Scottish music and bal folk, and the way that those scenes are similar to and different from the American contra scene.
