Professional Caller

Myron has been a caller for over 35 years. Myron was born and raised in Minnesota. He grew up in Alexandria with his brother, sister and parents. He took square dance lessons with his mother when he was in 8th grade. He danced for several years before taking up calling. In 1986, at age 21, a caller put the wrong side of a record on by accident at a dance. The caller ended up doing a lip sync to the record, and Myron decided to follow suit. The caller then offered Myron a few of his records; and, two weeks later, Myron was calling.
