Baitcontra: Do we have a band?

I know that a fair number of our normal musical crew have a) amazingly busy lives and b) as-yet unclear plans, so I'm trying to figure out if we'll have musicians for the Saturday night Baitcontra or not this year.
We're already working on alternate (pre-recorded) options, should we need it, but it'd also be great if we had live music, even if just for a few dances.

Let me know?

Contra Musicians Sought. Also maybe a caller?

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...

2 news bits: LAST CALL for tshirts; CALL for contra musicians!

A) Tshirt orders ( http://wp.baitcon.org/what-is-baitcon/products-page/ ) close tomorrow at NOON.
We're going to make a few extras, but not that many!
(Orders are _really_ low... There HAVE been technical issues, so if you tried before and failed, please try again. Also, please give us a real email address in case I need to ask you something about your order. Thanks!)

B) A contra dance needs musicians. As we've shown in the past, musicians need music!

coraline is organizing both of these things. She will have music available for download soon, and would also like to know who is coming and is interested in playing, and what it is that you play.

You can comment here, but better would be to mail contra dash 2009 at baitcon dot org

Thanks!
