Huh? I don't see anything of mine anywhere in the conversations about
swinging and frames etc.

New subject: Singing Calls
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.

CDSS just published Nils Fredland's work "New River Train, Square Dances
from the Collection of Keith Blackmon". There's a lot of 30s-40s-50s
popular songs in that book. Living in the area, I'm certainly biased,
but I would hope some of those might pick up popularity in the rest of
the country.
