The French Canadian Suite:
The music of French Canada borrows heavily from Irish, Scottish, English and
French traditions as well as from the Native Canadians. From the Montreal and
Saint Laurence regions come a solemn Native Canadian clog dance, lively French
children's game dances, a broom dance, and a waltz clog which was the
predecessor to the "time-step" in American tap dance. Presented to Westwind by
Dennis Boxell.
1979 video filmed at Spangenberg Auditorium in Palo Alto.
