Bill McAdoo – Independence, PA – 1979
These are recordings of caller Bill McAdoo at the Independence, PA dance in 1979. Bob Dalsemer writes, "Most are from 4/21/1979 and a few from 9/8/1979. I always thought Bill was one of the best of the old time patter callers at a time when singing calls seemed to be taking over. He also had a band that could really pump out traditional fiddle tunes at a lively clip."
Bob Dalsemer and Larry Edelman each collected dances from McAdoo. You can find other information—audio and video and text—by clicking on this link.
