Goodnight My Friends
A Video by Huey

Fiddler Ben Guillemette and singer Lionel "Toots" Bouthot bring the old-fashioned New England country dance up-to-date in your living room. These self-taught Mainers learned to play music to make people dance, and that they do! From town halls, senior citizen centers, and folk festivals in Maine to the 50th National Folk Festival in Lowell, Mass, and the Festival of American Folklife in Washington, D.C., audiences can't sit still when they hear Ben and Toots' engaging blend of Franco-American, Irish, Canadian, and Western Swing Music. This 46-minute film features Ben and Toots along with Richard "Dickie" Morneau, Josee Vachon, and the Maine Country Dance Orchestra. DVD.
