Re: [Callers] Caller backed out; need a new one (or a fiddler) for Saturday in East Putney.

Want a gig? Know any other caller who might? Or a fiddler? I haven't posted in ages so some of you might wonder who the heck I am. I'm Amy Cann, and usually I play anchor fiddle for the every-other-month East Putney All-Comers band. It's a local dance, off in the woods (outhouse, not bathroom!) that's been going continuously for many decades -- it was Fred Breunig's for many years, along with Andy Davis and the Tune Police. It's much beloved by locals and we have a very, very good time. There's about a dozen amateur musicians that pile onto the stage, somebody brings lemonade and cookies, we dance pretty much without a long break but with lots of short ones for water and neighborly gossip, and usually end by 10:30. Quena Crain ended up with a last minute family conflict and has had to withdraw; I can step in if I can find a fiddle replacement, or one of you can step up to call. The dancers are zest-ful and experienced but NOT contra-only types; squares and circles and Quebecois longways and anything else you enjoy is fair game, they'll do it and love it. Pay is reasonably decent, and for this we'll hit up the kitty for travel $ if we need to. WE ARE WILLING TO SUPPORT LEARNERS. If you have an apprentice, someone who's shared the mic and is just about ready to take on a whole night, this is their chance. They'll get good feedback and tons of patience/gratitude. Give me a ring - 802-222-7598 or email me directly, and PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PASS THIS ON to fiddling friends.
