FolkMADness 2007 English Country Dance Workshop This is from Folkmadness 2007 dance camp. It was taken at the English Country Dance workshop on Saturday. English Country Dance is a little like Contra, but more sedate (slower tempo), formal, prim and proper (90% of ECDs are proper, whereas most contras are improper).

Where did everybody go a simple protest song/video that I believe speaks the mind of the American people right here and now...upon the slow train of death the seed lies deep beneath the snow in this 'nuclear winter'...nobody wants to talk about it but the fact is that sooner or later one of these 'rainbow bombs' will land in the lap of a 'suicide bomber'...so for the sake of our children let's start by opening our eyes! Watch the video! Tags: musicvideo FolkMadness antiBush protest death antiTerrorist war commercial advertising interesting fashionable bbc nbc |
