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: [trad-dance-callers] Singing 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 #yiv8663059947 #yiv8663059947 -- #yiv8663059947ygrp-mkp
