Feedback

At various times I've either had a guestbook on the site or received nice emails from folks who've used the site. Here are a few of their comments. I post these not because of what they say about me, but because of how they reflect the quality and character of the dancers and others who use this site.

My wife, Ann, and I are leaders for NCC #181. We've used Mixed-Up Squares / Cuesheets from all over for a number of years and really appreciate the effort that you and others put into developing and maintaining it.

We're especially grateful for the new addition of the videos. Since we manage a tape / guest cuer club, having videos to teach and learn from are very valuable.

Thank you (and the others) for an outstanding service.

I came across the site when I was trying to find some lyrics to some songs, without typing them up from memory! Thanks for an interesting light hearted read! I love the Bible reading plans, such a clear and readable format.

While looking for round dance cue sheets (I was referred to the website by Bob and Eileen Silvia @ Cedarbrook Dance Center), I found your travel highlights on your current trip - very interesting. I also found a comment about going to Alaska. FYI, I was there (via motorhome) last summer after attending NSDC in Portland which I noticed you were also at. I currently dance only advanced and some C1. (Frank Lescriener). If you are interested in my experience on the trip to Alaska feel free to contact me.

My name is Terry and I live with my family in N. India. Just wanted to drop a note thanking you for the lyrics. There are no evangelical churches near us (only 200,000 christians in the whole state of 50+ million - most are Catholics) so we worship in our home. Thank you again and if there is a way we can pray for your job situation, please let us know.

I just found some song lyrics on your page. Thanks for posting them. I teach high school music, and have students performing both Annie Laurie and To a Wild Rose. We checked out the lyrics for each to get a more sincere interpretation (I hope).

Your forms programming skills outstrip mine by miles. I am still a baby at any of the more interesting web coding.

Thanks for a great site - we use it tons & recommend it often. Too bad it doesn't generate you any income :(

I encountered a couple of problems just now with entries on mixed-up.com. This site has become so huge, it must be a big job to keep errors from creeping in. Thanks for all the work you do.

I just tried logging onto www.mixed-up.com/round/all-over and got the message that this is forbidden for me. Can you please help. In the past I've used this site a lot for my round dance instruction and don't understand why I can't get through now.

Thanks for your help.

I am 55 and did attend Bethany in 69. I am one of those characterized in your "Why I don't go to church" section. Thank you for taking the time to express your views. You are a "light on the hill" in my opinion.

I am beyond lost, probably, and that should clue you in as where I think the church is.

I am delighted I ran across your site.

I work at the University of Arizona in Tucson, and I was trying to find a page with good PDA-friendly links and I stumbled on yours. Imagine my surprise (and delight) to see my wireless page listed under "University of Arizona News"!

I want to thank you for including us.

Thanks again for including my work! I'm more than happy to get validated!

We have just written a new Paso Doble that is good for introducing dancers to that rhythm. The name is Ghost Riders and the cue sheet is posted on our website.

Wow. A little embarrassing to see them all in a row. Am I as bad as ###### or ###? Someone was joking "a cue-sheet every 37 minutes". No, no, mine spread over 25 years. And still so many in my head...

Thank you Mark, you are a BIG help to all of us.

We do appreciate being listed among your clubs and because of that we have had visitors from abroad, primarily from Germany and Japan. Lizz even shared calling one night with a German caller. Being next door to Yosemite Park, we are close enough to have park visitors come by and dance with us. Keep up the good work.

I read through your notebook and enjoyed the humorous description of your accident.... although I don't suppose you thought it was funny at the time. I'm glad to hear that you have a good wife who looks after you so well. It's sort of funny but we may e-talk for years and never know any detail about each other's life... I didn't know whether you were a bachelor or a taxi cab driver or a monk. Your involvement in religion also comes as a great surprise.

Thank you so much for all you hard work in setting up and keeping up your web page. What a resource! Since we have started cueing at festivals we now need to have all the popular dances. Since we have only been in this business for a few years we have been playing catch up. You have made this monumental task much easier. Thank you again!

Greetings from Denmark and congratulations on a great homepage!

After attending the iPAC square dance convention 2003, I had the great experience of meeting Mr. Baker, who introduced a group of us youngsters to the concept of Hexagon Squares - a fantastic concept for spicing up a dance! Since then I've made it my "mission" to instruct other dancers in this concept - and other twists to square dancing, that I've found on the Clark Baker homepage.

Thank you for making dancing a lot more fun!

This is with out any doubt the best source for all information pertaining to round dancing and squares. I really don't know how you can keep up with all the information. Here, in the St. Louis area we are very fortunate in having a very good core of R/D cuers. You could dance at least four or five days or nights every week. THANKS AGAIN FOR A SUPER WEB SITE...Dave
