[Squaredancing] squaredance oldies

Listening to the old recordings was great.  I started dancing in 1963, and
have a couple recordings from that time period, both 45s and at least one
78.  
 
About 10-12 years ago one of our area callers brought his father's records
to a dance.  His father had been the club caller before him.  He warned us
ahead of time that we needed to do real back to back dosados, and he was
right.  A lot of the timing didn't fit if we did a swing (unless we knew
that dosado ended up facing, not side-by-side).  
 
This past weekend I had the pleasure of dancing to Marshall Flippo, at the
Natural Bridge Holiday Dance-A-Rama.  He has been calling for 55 years.
During the weekend he used a few of his old tunes, but they were
re-releases, not the original 78s.

If you like me enjoy the older music and dances from the 1940´s and 50´s you
might want to check out my webpage that I just opened.
It´s called www.squaredanceoldies.com <http://www.squaredanceoldies.com/>
and I have out of extensive collection been recording the old 78´s from the
period 1940´s - 50´s onto cd´s after cleaning them up the best I could from
surface noise and pops and cracks. I have recorded many of the Cd´s with the
caller in mind that doesn´t have access to live music- one version with
calls plus the same in an instrumental version. 
I hope some of you will enjoy this site.
