Bob Osgood - square dance television program
Creator: Bob Osgood (c. 1950)
Bob Osgood, publisher of Sets in Order, was an enthusiastic promoter of square dance and a follower of Lloyd Shaw. Here is an early broadcast that illustrates Osgood's attempts to reach a home viewing audience; you can hear him use Lloyd Shaw's language almost word for word. In this program, you'll hear him encourage viewers to clear away furniture to dance along with his "kids." He then teaches Two Little Sisters, followed by calling for that dance.
