Welcome to callers from all over the world. Thank you in advance for taking a few minutes of your time to read our little newsletter. Being a caller myself for 45 years, I know how busy and hectic this calling business can get. Some callers are really really busy. Buddy Weaver comes to mind as being a very busy, involved caller. Think about it, he calls dances, takes care of the Record Producers part of the business and the most important thing that Buddy does is critique all of the record producers new releases. Good work Buddy. Keep it up.
I wonder if the dancers ever consider all of the work that goes into calling a dance? There is the equipment involved, music to consider, level of dance material to work with and of course the travel time put into getting to and from the dance. As I get older travel is the worst part. We are like the post office; the dance must go on rain or shine. With all the above going on, most of us wouldn’t give up calling for anything. We don’t do it to make lots of money. We do it because it makes the dancers so happy. At the end of the evening when the dancers make a large circle and thank us with a loud voice, that makes the world right again.
July 1 marks the 2nd anniversary of my taking full control of Coyote & TNT Records. Thanks to you it has been a great two years. A lot of the music on Coyote and TNT is over 40 years old. However, callers are still downloading it because it’s good music.
Please contact me if you have a recording of TNT # 217 Round Dance Glo Worm. I would appreciate it very much.
( Watch the video by High Valley on Youtube and you will see why I chose this one to record. Also watch our video version on the Coyote/TNT music web site or on Youtube Don’t be to critical of the picture of Dot and myself that opens the video. This photo was taken over 30 years ago.
Please note: The reason for new vocals is the old version has figures that are no longer used. However, the music is good.
Please consider the following tunes when you are planning your next special dance.
Thank you again for taking the time to read our newsletter. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or comments.
