[Callers] Building to Contra Corners

[Bob Green]

This is a building block. I would never call another contra corners in the
same evening. In St. Louis, where we often dance contra corners, there
would rarely be the need for "contra corners for dummies" version. I did
call it once inSt. Louis this last year, but that  was to help revive the
triplet.
