- At a used record shop I picked up two square dance albums. Both are on
- the heavy record-stock that (I assume) predates vinyl.
-
- One was without calls, and had some good arrangements and medleys on it.
- The other had calls, but they weren't what I expected - no right hand
- stars or pass thru's, but it had calls like:
-
- "The lady go round the lady and the gent go round the gent, the gent go
- round the lady and the lady go round the gent" or
-
- "First couple to the right, circle four a while, then turn your partner
- 'round in that gay cowboy style, then swing with your opposite as if it
- were your own, then swing with your Rose of San Antone"
-
- The calls that caught my attention were "make a basket" and "turn the basket
- inside out". They were in a dance done to Jingle Bells' melody, although
- the words were non-seasonal (in fact, I don't recall a single word that
- matched Jingle Bells). Partners were periodically exchanged in singing-call
- style.
