Michael,
Trust me, I (and I'm sure others) have seen callers go through mentorship, classes,
support, etc. And - they do not have the thing that callers make. Callers that are
serious want and need feedback, the community, the mentoring and again FEEDBACK. Those
that are- seek and respond to this. Those are nots - not. They are into them and not
into the rest. So the caution is - callers that aren't into the caller community
feedback mentorship ... lose. and the community that has to dance to them, loses.

Contra calling is a relatively easy
skill to learn--much easier than mastering fiddle-playing,
auto repair, child rearing or Photoshop. After getting
several hours of initial instruction in contra calling, the
challenge becomes getting 40-100 hours practice over 10- 50
dance events needed to experience the various things that
might go wrong or that one might do wrong, while having more
experienced callers nearby to counsel one through the
mishaps. And of course workshops will intercept some of
the potential mishaps.

I may have missed it, but I haven't seen William Watson's
excellent collection of caller resources.
