Book synopsis

All Join Hands is the story of what happened when a ten-thousand-year-old musical tradition wasput into the hands of a seventeen-year-old Boston boy in 1947. While in high school, DudleyLaufman apprenticed with fiddlers and callers throughout New England. Eventually, he squiredthe old country dance traditions through to their revival in the 1960s at the Newport FolkFestival, the Club 47, and Robert J. Lurtsema’s Morning Pro Musica broadcasts. Decades ofperformances in famous venues and small villages led to his receiving the National HeritageFellowship Award in 2009. As Tom Rush, iconic singer/songwriter says, “Tom Curren has done a brilliant job here,weaving an engaging narrative of how Dudley Laufman coordinated and energized the amazingresurgence of an ancient art form—the contradance/square dance—in New England andbeyond.” All Join Hands calls for a new quickening of spirit, nurtured and energized by thetraditional arts of New England.
