Dear All,
I've noted before that I do this dance every year for a lakeside community
(dancers arrive in boats) where we do dances form the 40s and 50s. Hinky
Dinkey, Hot time, Marching thru Georgia, Nelly Bly and -- the "must do"
dance of the first half -- The Farmer.
I'm interested in finding and dances from that era that Would be good to
trot out for the group.
I've added Right Hand High, Left Hand Low to Camptown Races. I have Life
on the Ocean Wave. We do My Little Girl with the tilt-a-whirl figure I
posted recently.
I've thought I should come up with a good Pistol Packin Mamma figure but
have not found one I like.
Any other thoughts ideas or "stuff" re: this kind of really, really easy
singers -- I'd like to hear your thoughts.
Thanks,
Ridge (still in New Joisey)
.

I seem to recall someone requesting for the lyrics to "Old
Number 9" (or "Engine #9") as called in that video. Did
anyone (Bob?) ever supply them? Bob's voice is badly miked
(I mean on the recording; I suppose it was fine in the hall)
and practically incomprehensible, at least to someone who
doesn't already know what he's singing.
