Hello folks,
I am considering a recording project that spans the gap between modern club dancing and
traditional squares. From a traditional perspective, what are the most common singing
calls in your area of the country? What are the most well received by the dancers? Are
there any that you wish were available in an instrumental pre-recorded version?
My vision is to use traditional dance figures with traditional music in a format that
club callers would use and that club dancers would enjoy. (That typically means 7x64
beats)
I have enjoyed Ralph Sweet's recent CD and Bob Dalsemer's two sets, Some of those
songs would be appropriate for my project as well as songs like Goodbye My Lady Love, and
many others.
I'd appreciate any input and/or suggestions.
