Square dancers and doggers at the Washington Community Center this Saturday night will stomp their feet to music out of the past—Appalachian folk tunes, Scottish reels and Irish jigs plucked and strummed by Lyt Wood on his hammer dulcimer, Bob Treanor on the guitar and Bill Hudson playing mandolin and banjo.
The trio of Rappahannock musicians hasn’t been playing together long but they make up for hours of practice that they’ve missed with comraderie and a shared love for traditional music.
And they click. They have the special chemistry that sends waves of smiles and chuckles through an audience. When Wood, Treanor and Hudson pick up their instruments, they look like they’ve been playing and joking together for years. They have a grand time on stage, entertaining themselves with their music as much as they delight their listeners.
“We’re not really a group,” Wood explained at a rare practice session held at his home off The Shade Road Monday evening. “We get together occasionally, almost always in public. We hardly ever practice. Basically, we’re three guys who share the same musical interests.”
