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..

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
