This is so cool! Vic and Debbie Ceder’s site now cross references the entries in the Caller database, the Events database, and the Records database. This means that if you look up a caller, you’ll also see all the records recorded by that caller (that Vic owns) and all the events featuring that caller that are entered in the Events database. Very nice, and a great reason for callers to encourage events organizers to make sure their events are listed in the database.
Direct Hit is a searchable directory that returns sites in order of popularity (meaning how many times they’re referenced by other sites). Of course, I did a search on square dancing, and got mostly expected results (Dosado.com is on top). One of the things that amused me was a list of “related searches” proposed by DirectHit:
- Dancing
- Square Dance Wear
- Square Dance Badges
- Square Dance Children
- Square Dancing Music
- Square Dance Callers
- Hillbilly
- Callerlab
- Contra Dancing
- Swingers Springfield Ma
HILLBILLY??!?
Here’s a collection of articles by Chris Froggat, an Australian caller: This Square Dance World
