Dear Martha,
Thanks. Maybe I'll figure out how to work a spell checker someday...since
learning to spell seems out of my reach.
Your Pal,
Greg

and that you call? Does anybody ever announce
'please don't call this
dance
without speaking to me first' or somesuch?
I can see why some coriographers may want to insulate a new dance from the
folk process...for a time. Eventually, however, the folks will get a hold
of it and you will lose control. I don't know of many dances that are
being hoarded by callers. It seems like a doomed effort in any case. If
someone doesn't want their dance called I will remove it from my database
and allow it to spiral into the oblivion of "protected works" where it
belongs. The musicians play public domain music and I feel that we should
call dances that are also available for free use. There are plenty of
great dances available without restriction and more being written all the
time. I always give credit to the alleged coriographer on my cards and
when I pass a dance on. If you want to become immortalized by your work
it
is best not to keep it in a lockbox.

When I first started calling square dances, some 50 years ago, I would
attend other callers' dances to research my own presentation. i would carry
a little notebook in my pocket to make notes. The point is, once you have
presented the figure in public, it is no longer within your control. You
can only control its being reprinted without proper recognition and
permission.
