Corvallis Contra Weekend Waltzing
The Sunday morning waltz music is provided by a pickup band of weekend dancers and community musicians with a variety of skill levels. Many of the tunes will be from popular waltz tune books. Booklets with the waltzes we'll likely play will be available Sunday morning or by arrangement with Bo Leyden boleyden@gmail.com prior to the Sunday morning.
