I’m listening now. Their focus is live streaming. There’s been some good advice already.

I’ve already launched a similar effort to stream recordings provided by community dance musicians. It’s been slow trying to get musicians so for now I’m streaming public domain recordings of community dance music, with loads of traditional international, waltz, contra, and more.

You can find out more, listen, and even chat (on Twitch and Second Life), here:

I hope you’ll listen during the day. And encourage musicians to provide fresh, modern music!

Hi fellow contra callers, 

You might be interested in the following webinar that Folk Alliance International is offering THIS FRIDAY on livestreaming.  The webinar is primarily for professional musicians but I know some folks are running caller collective gatherings or workshops online and I think there likely will be lots of helpful information.

I know some of the panelists and they are top notch (e.g., Someone from Canada's national arts centre is on the list. They are working with artists across all of Canada to make high quality livestreams from their homes.)

The webinar is free.
More info below :)
