		<description><![CDATA[The rich, golden sound of the Gunter Noris Orchestra makes it pre-eminent among the world&#8217;s best dance bands. For many years
American dancers preferred it over any other dance band.  That
is why &#8220;Gunter Noris Plays Requests 2&#8243; is my
favorite instrumental 10-dance album. Two tracks
in particular have made it famous:  &#8220;Irish Green&#8221;
waltz and &#8220;Rumba Dulaine&#8221;. [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=telemarkmusic.wordpress.com&blog=869534&post=25&subd=telemarkmusic&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

An all Tango CD without a traditional Tango melody, from the Klaus Hallen Ochestra of Germany! That is his TANGO COLLECTION, 14 of the staccato-type Tangos characteristic of International-Style Tango music, all of them at 33 MPM. The tunes are a combination of classical and popular numbers, nine of them [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=telemarkmusic.wordpress.com&blog=869534&post=17&subd=telemarkmusic&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Joan took the German CD IRGENDWANN to a children&#8217;s class, thinking that the waltz and the foxtrot would be suitable for teaching beginners.  Later the director phoned, wanting the name of the waltz, which she loved.The waltz bore the same title &#8220;Irgendwann&#8221; as the CD and was sung in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=telemarkmusic.wordpress.com&blog=869534&post=13&subd=telemarkmusic&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
