Willis started calling in 1997, introduced into it by Millard Wilkinson, caller for the Circle Eights S/D club in Lilburn, GA. He attended a callers' school that year run by Bill McVey and Larry Johnson. Four new callers attended but Willis is the only one still calling. He presently calls for two clubs: Habersham Squares in Cornelia, GA and Paws & Taws in Seneca, SC. He and his wife Carolyn, who leads line dancing, do frequent one-night stands. Willis explains: "We make a pretty good team. She is beautiful, graceful, charming, friendly and the dancers all love her. I call the square dance tips." When not dancing or calling, Willis is either reading or working on his back yard observatory. Contact him at williscook@windstream.net (Click the email link below) |
