I'll Swing Yours, You Swing Mine (clip) - Les Gotcher
Creator: Les Gotcher
In his prime as a modern square dance caller, Les Gotcher was known as the Hash Master. (For an example of Gotcher in full hash mode, listen to this live recording from 1958.) Here, in an earlier recording, he shows his comfort with traditional square dance figures, calling a visiting couple figure. Traditional callers may note that his calls are not timed to the phrase of the backup music; instead, his own patter provides a steady beat for the dancers.

Subjects: Southern / Appalachian / Four-couple squares, Transitional/Western 1950s
