Bruce Johnson, patter - 1961
Creator: Bruce Johnson (December, 1961)
Live recording of Bruce Johnson calling to a jig.
Jim Mayo comments: "Bruce kept on using 6/8 time music long after most others had abandoned it. It also shows his nearly unique ability to fill every beat with at least one word and to keep them rhyming all the way through the tip while maintaining better timing than most before most callers had ever given a thought to timing."
