Contra Musicians Sought. Also maybe a caller?

[jbsegal.livejournal.com]

So, we're planning on another BaitContra, as is by now traditional.

To the best of my knowledge, and due to my very limited recruiting so far, I think I know about 2 fiddles and 2 woodwinds players. There might well be a bass coming, but he hasn't actually RSVPd yet.

If you play music - esp. guitar, bass, keys (if you can bring your own), or really, whatever, and are willing to play for the Contra on Saturday night, let me know?

Also, we may or may not have a caller. This might be interesting. I've done a fair amount of calling-from-the-line to try to fix what's broken, but I've never done it in a full, proper, 'official' sort of way.
I'll try, if it comes to it. If you're interested in trying, too, let me know... or if you have experience doing so, and want to do more...

Caller

I can, in a pinch, call a contra or three, but don't have any dance cards or dances ready. If someone brings dances to call, I can teach and call them.

I've never called or played for a contra (and honestly I think I'd rather dance anyway) but I'll email a few of my Philly people and see if they'll send me some dances. :)
