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
