Back in the old days, we knew a caller was a caller when she forgot her cards and still called a great dance. I remember the first time I forgot my cards, and did fine with the dances I knew by heart. Even in my head, I had more than enough to work. There are, of course, no hurries to get to that place, and taking precautions is good, but when it happens, it does build a sense of confidence. After hearing of a friend forgetting to put her dance cards in the car, only to watch them scatter in the mirror on the freeway, as they flew off the top of her car, I went and photocopied all my cards. Now I have notes in my falling-apart books, and I've photoed every comment and dance I've written in the book, so if I loose the book, I can reconstruct it. And, I can still call a dance with no written cues at all... ~erik hoffman On 10/8/2013 10:59 AM, Rich Goss wrote: > Most certainly carry cards as well.
