Mountain Music Madness (clip) - Rod Linnell
Creator: Rod Linnell
The tune is "I Like Mountain Music," here adapted into a singing call. Recorded on the Apex label, #9-26431. The band is Don Messer's Islanders.
In her notes to the dance in Square Dances from a Yankee Caller's Clipboard, Louise Winston writes:
At Maine Folk Dance Camp in the early 1950s, Rod said to me, "Get your pencil. I've a new call I think you'd like to use." He dictated the call, then forgot about it. I called it at many places in the Greater Boston area and other callers, notably Charlie Baldwin, picked it up and spread it. A few years later Rod heard me calling it at the New England Folk Festival and said, "You know, I'd forgotten that call. Guess I'll make a record of it" – which he did.
