I am interested in all those topics and would no doubt subscribe the new lists if they were available. I am interested not only as an organizer and musician, but as a caller, because I think that it can only help to hear some other points of view. Since the callers list is clearly aimed at callers, I think it would be great to extend the discussion to these other areas and see what happens.

Some of you know about an e-mail list that Seth Seeger and I have been running called Shared Weight. The list callers(a)sharedweight.net has been running for 2 1/2 years now and we consider it to be a great success. It was intended to be and has become a resource for people new to calling for traditional dance to come and learn from experienced people. If you are not familiar with the list, please check it out. The archives are public, so you can read what the posts are like: http://www.sharedweight.net/ I am considering starting two new lists on the website: organizers(a)sharedweight.net and musicians(a)sharedweight.net. It should be obvious that these new lists would be targeted at organizers and musicians for traditional dancing. We would hope to have a core group of experienced people and also new people to share information about these subjects. You have been included in this e-mail because you either subscribe to the callers list, or are an organizer or musician that I have an e-mail address for. Since I am a caller who is also an organizer and is working on jumping into the 3rd category, I have an interest in promoting the growth of all of these. Please take some time and consider whether or not you would be interested in joining either of these new lists. I welcome any comments or questions as well. Please feel free to forward this to anyone who you think might be interested. Thank you for your time. Happy Dancing!!! (and calling, organizing and playing!!)
