For this ninth printing of The Portland Collection, the electronic files were completely recreated to make them compatible with today's computers. While there are no changes to the music in the book (other than the correction of a few notation mistakes), this update provided the opportunity to make some improvements in formatting. There are 7 titles changes (incorrect in prior printings). Alternate tune settings and chords are now on...
Susan Songer has enjoyed music as long as she can remember. In grade school, she played piano and eagerly participated in square dancing during P.E. classes. She played folk songs on guitar with informal groups during and just after college. Susan moved to Portland with her family in 1982 and set up a psychology practice shortly thereafter. She discovered contra dancing in 1986 and loved it immediately....
Most folks interested in contra dance music or fiddling in general know The Portland Collection, a wonderful tune book. --Bruce E Baker, Dirty Linen, Feb/Mar 2002.
This is an important piece of work...one of the best throughout collections to come across this desk... --Bob Buckingham, Fiddler Magazine, Spring, 1999.
an impressive and welcome tome...clear and clean transcription, enjoyable commentaries on each piece. --Kerry Blech, Victory Review, September, 1997.
