Greetings Callers, Esp those who are relatively new to calling and those who have never been to the Ralph Page Weekend in Durham NH. If you have a chance in the future, jump at it! As I found out, once I stepped out of the role of dancer, and really watched and listened... the weekend is geared to callers. Not only do they bring in the best callers (Tod Whittemore, Lisa Greenleaf, Linda Leslie, David Millstone and others), the weekend offers very informative caller wkshps and the chance to take the stage and do some calling in front of a friendly crowed. If you wish your calling can be critiqued by fellow callers (a great way to hone your skills!) This is something I have not found at other festivals in my area. Watching Tod and Lisa do their stuff is a thrill! They both are so easy on stage (lots of playing with the crowed) But they are true professionals that just don't miss a beat. All in all a great time! Give it a try Hope to hear you soon, Gale Wood
