Take the Music Home with You
If you'd like to have a little piece of the dance music made in Missouri for your very own, consider the purchase of a CD from the list below.
This is just a sampling of the music that is available. When you hear something you like, you can usually buy CDs direct from the artists at our dances, or, for these and other productions, contact them using the contact information below. The CDs that are on this page are ones that were purchased by us already for resale. The purchase price includes free shipping and handling and a donation to Childgrove.
Attention musicians: If you have a CD for sale and you'd like to be included on this page, send us a picture and tell us how people can get your CDs, and we'll include the information. If you have CDs and no way to handle "fulfillment" let us know - we can make arragements to help you out.
If you want to go further, and make this fine music REALLY your very own, you can learn how to play it at the Folk School (http://www.folk-school.com). Contact them at
