One was when we were doing a dance I'd prepared a volunteer caller sheet for, and the other was when there was someone just acting as an echo. I was trying to talk about the first one, but I think you're talking about the second one. I agree that it's much less useful if the second caller is calling late, and that that's going to be unavoidable when calling as a repeater.
If you know anyone looking to play drum for this sort of thing, send them my way!", "timestamp": "1306435362"}, {"author": "Laila", "source_link": "https://www.facebook.com/notes/jeff-kaufman/informal-contra-in-davis-square-v/10150184884526213/?comment_id=10150186146591213", "anchor": "fb-10150186146591213", "service": "fb", "text": "Hey there i'm new to contra but i got hooked in Asheville, North Carolina.
