Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight - Ted Sannella
Creator: Ted Sannella (1958 (?))
Ted Sannella rarely called singing squares, but in this example of Hot Town in the Old Town Tonight, he uses patter calling at the start to help dancers learn the pattern of the dance. He then starts singing along with the tune to create a hybrid of singing and patter.
The SDHP site contains many other examples of Ted Sannella's calling.
