--I just came across this one. They have all the strange (and not so
strange) contra dance contra bands (not to be confused with contraband).
This is where you will find contra dance music CDs from all over
the United States. They have Real Audio and MP2 samples so you can
check out new music that you have never heard of before and find something
you wonder how you ever got along without! Full on-line ordering with
shopping carts and secure credit card transactions.
- Elderly Instruments
--Mail-Order music store in Lansing, MI. Elderly has just about the
best selection of folk, bluegrass, and eclectic music I have ever found.
I've been ordering from them since long before they put their catalog
on the web. Their prices on CDs are just about unbeatable. Elderly also
has instruments and accessories (strings, picks, rosin, etc.), songbooks,
and all them other things that musicians need..
