Re: Dancing the slow hora

Firn di mekhutonim aheym:

Michael Alpert and I played it at Yale, leading Rebecca Taichman's parents 
home after opening night's party. (Well, this was in fact a 21st century 
version: we were only accompanying them to the cab next corner...)
One step per measure seemed to work very well with the folks walking along, 
but it's much harder to do this playing... so if you want to keep the festive 
mood, just ignore the beat and walk in whatever rhythm as a musician. 
Otherwise it might become "stumbling di mekhutonim aheym"...
