Let's try that again with the link included. Here's a 40-bar singing square from the 1950s. It's only 6 times through, but it's in five 8-bar phrases (two in the "A" part, three in the "B").

I'm going to head off-list and talk to my friend Norb Spencer, accordionist extraordinaire, major tune-hound, and player of all three likely-to-be-not-32 genres (Oldtime, Fr.C, and Scottish). Watch this space... On 1/3/20, John Sweeney via Contra Callers wrote: > Hi Amy, > You asked about

Hi Dave, No, I didn’t mean to be that specific. 8s and 16s are fine - it’s the 12/24 that messes it up. (Sorry, I’m a dancer, not a musician, so I think in beats since I don’t really know what a bar is!) (OK, I do really - I play concertina by ear for the Morris, but have no

[Callers] Recordings of 40 Bar Tunes

Hi all, Despite having an extensive collection of music I have nothing suitable for a 40 bar contra dance. Please can anyone recommend any good recordings of 40 bars and 7 to 11 times through? Preferably they should be downloadable individually.
