Les Gotcher - two live calls, 1955
Creator: Les Gotcher (1955?)
From a dance that Les Gotcher called, probably in 1955, we have an example of a very early Hash & Breaks style of calling that was to become his trademark in future years. In those later years Gotcher was known to use singing calls sparingly but that 1955 dance shows him singing "Home in San Antone." The audio clip here starts with some of the patter, then switches to the singing call at :52.
Gotcher appears so many times in the SDHP collection that we have not listed individual Related Items. Instead, we suggest using this link to bring up examples of other recordings and additional information.
