Two singing squares - Fenton "Jonesy" Jones
Creator: Fenton "Jonesy" Jones
1) Solomon Levi
From his series of Square Dances by Jonesy, this singing square features a simple figure that appears in other traditional dances.
2) Darling Nellie Gray
From the same album. As one obvious difference between Eastern and Western styles, compare this brisk western tempo (142 bpm) with a recording of New Hampshire caller Ralph Page (124 bpm) or with other examples on this website.
