I found an old copy of "Fourgone Conclusions" from 1983 that's in decent shape (other than B1, which skips badly enough that I couldn't get a decent recording :( )! This is a band that hasn't been around in a long time, and as far as I know it's impossible to get the CD re-release any more or find this online! If you're into contra dance or New England style folk music, check it out. If anyone has a CD or can get a better recording of the LP somehow hit me up and I'd love to chat!

A bit of a stretch, but do I know anyone who's familiar with traditional Irish, English, and/or old-time folk tunes? Trying to find the name of a few tunes that I still can't figure out even though I know I've heard them a million times before at old-time jams and contra dances and what not. I've been scouring @thesession with no luck!

The one labeled "Tune 4" is still eluding me. It's a medley so if you skip to half way through or so it will change and I'm trying to figure out both tunes.

EDIT: the embedded Internet Archive player sometimes picks the wrong tune. Best to click through.

Update: One medley left, thanks fedi folks! Post edited.

With the spotlights extinguished on the completely extraordinary visit of the head of the CIA to Havana, the lights immediately turned on two “leaks” of news: that the Cuban army would have 300 drones…
