April, 2001 - Alternative Patter MusicThis was my first presentation at CALLERLAB. I was on the panel with John Sybalsky and Jerry Jestin. Many thanks goes to Clark Baker for organizing the first of it's kind panel for CALLERLAB and for inviting me to speak. Clark maintains a webpage of all the alternative music panels in which he has participated and that information is here should you be interested.

 

This was originally printed in the Northeast Square Dancer Magazine - the link to the original article is here. The article is a monthly column written by Jim Mayo. Jim has been a mentor of mine having taught two different schools which I attended and was on staff at the first caller's school I taught. Jim is a founding member of CALLERLAB and the publisher of many articles and papers on square dancing. His latest book "Step by Step through Modern Western Square Dancing" is available through Barnes and Noble's web site linked here.
