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.
