Hello all,
I’m planning on making a poster for Ralph Sweet for the Ralph Page weekend in January. I’d love to get some pictures, quotes, or even short stories that I might include on the poster.
Thank you for anything that you might provide,
Rich Hart.

Hello everyone,
Thank you for your patience while I work out the bugs!
The sharedweight mailing lists are now hosted on Mailman version 3. You can see the archives here:
https://lists.sharedweight.net/hyperkitty/
The (super) old archives are also available at the old URLs and I am going to put a message at the top of them that redirects visitors to the new archives. The mail-archive.com archives will continue to work.
Let me know if you see or experience anything odd.
Seth
Hi everyone,
I need to make one (hopefully) final change to the server. The mailing lists will be down for a few hours, starting now. I’ll send an email all about the new set up once I’m finished.
Thanks for your patience,
Seth
Hi Shared Weight callers,
As part of the Shared Weight renewal that happening this fall, we are renaming the callers list. Instead of callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net it will be contracallers(a)lists.sharedweight.net. The change is due to the fact that Shared Weight will now be hosting three separate lists for callers and so we want to have a bit more definition in the names. (The other two lists exist but are now becoming part of Shared Weight.)
Here is a bit of information about the other two caller lists:
---> Alan Winston's English country dance list focuses primarily on conversations for ECD callers although musicians and organizers do chime in.
---> Ridge Kennedy's Trad callers list is will be serving callers interested in community dances, dancing for children, one-night stands, traditional squares, and other forms outside of the contra and ECD realm.
Of course, there's always going to be a bit of overlap between lists so feel free to raise the odd non-contra question on contracallers.
Note: Callers(a)sharedweight.net will forward to contracallers(a)sharedweight.net so if you happen to forget and send to the old address, your post will go through with no problem.
Thanks!
Seth
Thanks to everyone for the corrections - I excell at miswriting.
I have never called this since I collected it - I need to do that soon

Thanks all! Wasn't sure if the Star hand was miswritten in Mac's, or if it was one of those reach-backs with the other hand, as sometimes seen...I think the latter is a proper square dance figure. I suspected the former! Thanks for checking that, y'all.

I have the same A1 as Frannie of “circle, pass thru, N Sw” rather than the “slide left, circle left, N Sw” that Mac has. Jacqui

Actually, if anyone could confirm the choreography that Mac sent and clarify the second half for me, that would be great. When it says "keep right with N" following a Star Left, I'm not sure what is happening there!
Thanks,
Angela

The title is actually Northeast ON Southwest. Susan was flying to the Northeast on Southwest airlines when she wrote the dance.

I picked up the title for this dance from Lisa Greenleaf about a month ago, but am not finding the dance anywhere online. Does anyone have the author and the choreo for the dance Northeast by Southwest?
Thanks!
