Absolutely, among those dancing on a regular basis (and those who drop
in)4Poster-Soldiers Joy is #1. Can't go home without calling it (just fancy
goal posting)
Next is Engine #9..."1st couple round the hollow, 2 & 3 will follow, 4 make an
arch and come on thru."
Down in the Caribbean Great beat, Hank Snow song. These tunes are not that
difficult and if I start callinga cappella someone picks up the rhythm. From
the Falltown String Band and we'll do it Saturday at Chesterfield. (MA)
These are the favorites not found in your usual searches. So many American
tunes were used for squares and are old enough(1800s early 1900s) to be out of
copyright.
Find Tod Whittemore's "San Antonio Rose" figure on line - it's a different
figure and should be brought back..

Subject: [Callers] Sing Call Squares
Hello folks,
I am curious what singing calls, if any, are being called nowadays. I am
hoping to build a traditional"singing square dance locally, and hope to use
tunes that bands might have heard or been exposed to.
I am familiar with the ones on Ralph Sweet's CD and Bob Dalsemer's two
collections.
Thanks,Rich SbardellaStafford, CT_______________________________________________
