Hello everyone!!
I was amazed at the response I got. Thank you to everyone who forwarded
my message to people who might be interested. Some of those people
contacted me to express their interest in being a part of the discussion.
We have the new lists up and ready for people to join!! Here are the
links to join each list:
http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/admin/musicians
http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/admin/organizers
We are in the process of updating the main website. I'll make an
announcement when it's ready.
A few people contacted me expressing their interest and presenting their
credentials to "qualify" to be on these lists. We don't block anyone
from joining. All we ask is that you have an interest in the topic. We
have several lurkers on the Callers list that have never called a dance.
I'm looking forward to the discussions!

Original Announcement:
I apologize if I sent this to anyone twice.
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!!)
