About Jumpstart

JumpStart was formed  20 years ago after an  M.I.T. contra dance when Gene (bass), Paul (fiddle) , and Victor (piano) decided to continue what had been a chance grouping.  Then in January of 2008, Paul took over the Mill City Dance in Manchester, NH, and JumpStart became the house band, joined by Ray Salvo (clarinet),with a different guest musician and caller each month.

In their real lives, Gene is a retired computer programmer for Intel; Paul is a retired Professor of English ; Victor has a background in classical music and teaches piano in Woods Hole, MA.

Nancy Fiske, Clarinet

Joe Pollock, Mandolin
