Buffalo Boy Go Round the Outside
Lawrence Loy is the caller, working with Carson Robison and his Old Timers. (Click on the Additional Files link to hear the audio clip.) You can also download the cover or the instructions from inside the back cover.) The entire album is available on the Internet Archive, both in its original 78 format (from 1942) shown here, and as the later LP re-release.
A detailed and appreciative biography of Loy is here. As a recreation leader based at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, he taught thousands of people the joy of square dancing. The authors on that website write, "In 1946 he organized the annual Country Dance festival at the University of Massachusetts. He was caller at many large square dances, that often were held in large barns, and attracted thousands of people of all ages."
