At age 93, Dudley is still fully engaged in a 70+ year career as a dance caller for local country dances throughout New England.

Dudley has the rare ability to both call a dance while also playing an instrument.  

He plays melodeon, harmonica & sometimes, when his fingers allow, his fiddle at old town halls, farmer’s markets, folk festivals, weddings, barn dances, kitchen junkets and for the Canterbury morris dance team.
