First Fridays, Oct-Jun in Carlisle, MA. Sue Rosen typically does most of
the calling with Walter Lenk leading the singing squares. Core musicians
plus sit-ins. Requested toss in to the basket went up to $6 last year due
to a hall rent increase.

likely appear later this month).

Subject: Re: [Callers] Calling & Playing for Squares at a Contra
[snip]
There's one wonderful local dance
which starts with an all-ages pot luck (where a good bottle of wine or two
is regularly present) and continues to a program of diverse contras old and
new plus several singing squares. We, as dancers from birth to "advanced
dancing age," get to "musically" participate as we sing along, regularly
belting out the refrains of If You Knew Suzie, Trail of the Lonesome Pine,
etc.
