Thread Name: Trad dance callers list
Subject: Trad dance callers list
Ridge Kennedy asked us to pass this on, so I am.

Dear All,

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the existence of this list. It
originated as the trad-sd list on the servers of Youngstown State
University with assistance from Doug Sewell. It evolved to it's
current site and name a few (4-5?) years ago. It currently has about
300 members. List moderators are Eva Murray and myself, though I will
say that the list is very much self-regulating -- there is a culture
of inquiry, interest and encouragement that has evolved that is quite
heartening.

There are still lots of people in the traditional dance world who have
not heard of our list, so if you can think of a friend, an associate,
a new caller, an inquisitive musician, a beleaguered organizer or just
a friendly dancer who'd like to know more about what goes on "behind
the scenes" so to speak -- please tell them about trad-dance-callers.

More information -- including thoughts from subscribers about the
value or the list and "how to" subscribe info -- is available at this link
Do please share.

Sincerely,

Ridge

It's an interesting group for callers discussing hogh powered contra and square stuff, and also one night stands for people who don't know left from right. So worth joining if you call (or dance)
