The French Canadian Suite: The music of French Canada borrows heavily from Irish, Scottish, English and French traditions as well as from the Native Canadians. From the Montreal and Saint Laurence regions come a solemn Native Canadian clog dance, lively French children's game dances, a broom dance, and a waltz clog which was the predecessor to the "time-step" in American tap dance. Presented to Westwind by Dennis Boxell.

1979 video filmed at Spangenberg Auditorium in Palo Alto.
