At the 2017 Gaufest in Buffalo, the Volksmusik Committee sponsored a great workshop: the Ausseer Steierischer. It was a 3-part workshop taught by Adam Levine and Eric Ray. Part I was Wirtshausliada.This session introduced a typical Gstanzl (song verses) sung during a traditional Landler from the Salzkammergut region of Austria. Part II was a Pascher Workshop. This linked basic Pascher (clapping) patterns and applied them with the Wirtshauslied learned earlier. Part III added a Volkstanz to the mix and then put them all together for the Ausseer Steirer.

Leonard "Lenny" Coyne is a well known and loved Trachtler, especially among the East Coast Vereine of Gau-NA. It is with great sadness we acknowledge his passing on Sunday, September 24, 2017, at the age of 56. He leaves behind his beloved wife, Barbara, mother Dhalma (and the late Anthony), and loving brothers Lawrence and Pierre, as well as many nieces and nephews. (The photo at left is of Lenny and Barbara on the set of Disney's movie "Enchanted.")
