[Callers] Re: Squares from Northern Junket
Just to clarify: The Square Dance History Project functions independently from CDSS, although there are certainly close connections: David Millstone, founder and curator of the Project, is a CDSS past president, and CDSS helped fund the six-caller Dare To Be Square weekend held at the Campbell Folk School in 2011, which was a sort of launch party for the Project. CDSS has a wonderful page about squares, originally put together by Nils Fredland, but they seem to be making it harder to find. From the CDSS home page, go to Resources, then Callers, then Reflections on the History and Evolution of Calling, then Introduction to the Various Styles of American Square Dancing.

How neat! I have a few early copies I picked up as spares at Ralph Page weekend and they make for fascinating reading. Also, I had to explain to a twenty-something the other day why they were "purple", which was fun. They totally didn't believe me about sniffing fresh mimeographs.

Sounds like a monumental task, Colin. More power to you -- we need all the easily accessible sources of good squares that we can put in place. Tony Parkes Billerica, Mass. www.hands4.com New book!
