Trail Of The Lonesome Pine - Singing call
Source: Various
Composer: MacDonald & Carroll 1913
Region: South West
Circa: 1900-1949
Year: 2024

This singing call is based on vaudeville song that was featured in a Laurel & Hardy movie of the same name! Singing calls calls were once a big part of the old-time dance tradition in Ontario. They are seldom danced these days though. 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.
