A singing call based on a pop song from the early 20th century. Singing square dance calls were (and still are) a part of the old-time dance tradition in Ontario. They are seldom danced these days. They generally are done to their own particular tunes. The figures for the couple dances in the ONTRAD library are all taken from "Alex Mulligan's Collection of Square Dance Calls" edited by Dr. Skye Morrison and Bill Russell (To whom all thanks) This book is still available from the Canadian Olde-Tyme Square Dance Callers' Association. They have a website full of good information. Alex Mulligan was a dance caller, step dancer and folk artist from Bobcaygeon, who taught dancing in Toronto for many years. The dance figure is at the bottom of the page.
