Re: Callers who gab on too for far too long ....

This thread provides smiles with every new post. (Go ahead and click on the link to the band's web page.) When I'm having one of those "busman's holiday" moments, I remind myself that I'm here to have fun experiencing dancing that I'm not having to call. .. - OR - a learning experience. (Once at a Civil War dance with a familiar crowd, by the time the caller had struggled through a third dance, several fellow dancers had requested my business card. They were hoping to make future events more fun.) Chris Mulvey wrote: "did you tell anyone like organisers, or band or even the caller directly that people were losing the will to live listening to him/her? You might sound rude at the time doing that - but if they aren't told then they will just carry on doing the same!" Sometimes when you initiate a conversation with the caller in charge, you get invited to lead a tip. My guess here is that the client was happy, or content, with the presentation. Although I was cringing while reading the description (and looking at the band's website -- go ahead, do it!), maybe Silver Hot Pants Caller is the cousin or good friend of the client's manager. --Karen D.
