Square Dance Fight on Ball Top Mountain
Creator: John Dilleshaw (1930)
Phil Jamison: These are square dance skits on two sides of a 78 (Vocalion 5419) with a few random calls by John Dilleshaw (aka Seven Foot Dilly) of Paulding County, GA. It was recorded in Atlanta in 1930. The "Square Dance Fight" was one of many dance skits that were recorded in the late 20s and early 30s. Most of them simply have a few calls for "local color," but even so, they do tell us what type of dances were popular there and then.
