Hello all. I'm reposting in memory of Rich, who used to play bass
clarinet and call at the East Putney Dance that's still happening,
tonight in fact.
His dances are idiosyncratic and fun and often proper and don't always
work in today's halls/culture, but I think this one's a quirky gem.
Hi all. I'm heading in to Boston this weekend to call a double bill for
BIDA -- family dance for an hour, then potluck, then the regular Sunday
evening.
It's intergenerational, leans young/collegiate, uses "Larks/Ravens" (just
found this out) and is in general all things hip.
I am staring at my
Hello all -- I'm traveling to Santa Cruz in August to call a
community-level dance at a family event of an old and dear friend.
I need to put together a band and would VERY MUCH welcome contact info of
coastal musicians, or dance organizers/callers likely to have a contact
list of good prospects.
I'm the designated caller but my favorite partner-in-crime Laurie Indenbaum
just got freed up to play fiddle and I'd rather make harmonies with her
while one of *you* calls.
The East Putney Dance has been going since forever, is on a dirt road

Hello again all -- it has been brought (gently) to my attention that I have
been laboring under a delusion, that I have strayed from the path...
"Do-SI-do, do-SA-do" does not mean back-to-back starting right shoulder,
then back to back starting left shoulder.
Deep down I know this, I swear, I
Hey all! This dance just popped into my head as part of a discussion over
on the pourparler/family dance community.
I have NO idea if I've just reinvented someone else's wheel or not. Anyone
know?

Here's my annual bid to keep the dances of Rich Blazej out there; I try and
call his dances whenever I can and this one's a Halloween favorite, re-done
as "Werewolves and Zombies". First the original:

Putney VT is short a caller. Very sweet local dance, 7:30-10:30,
all-contras is ok but a mix of contras/circles/longways is way OK too.
Email me directly and I'll give you the gory details.

It's a friendly low-key local community dance, and they know I'm mainly a
contra caller, so the potential for hurled tomatoes is low -- but I still
want to not stink too much.
Any suggestions for dance choices or thought-habit adjustments?

It's 5:00. At 7:30 tonight I'll be calling a dance for about 150 Putney
School teens freshly-returned from their Long Fall wilderness trips.
They'll be smelly and exuberant.
An hour ago at 4:00 I was planning my program and had a sudden wave of
"Gosh, I'm sick of my own material."

in VT tomorrow, you are MORE than welcome to stay after and eat/ talk shop.
If the weather is good, the Top Of The Hill Grill on the north end of

Hi folks. I need to hand off this gig to be at a memorial service.
This is a dance celebrating the installation of an old student and dear
friend of mine as the new pastor at the Framingham UCC church.
