Joe Lewis was one of the true pioneers of modern square dancing.  He transformed the caller into a showman setting the tone for generations of callers that followed.  His records spread square dancing around the world and in fact, were the foundation of his being brought to Australia in 1950 to show square dancing in department stores.  His trip was sponsored by a group of businessmen who had heard his album.  A second tour in 1951 introduced thousands to square dancing.

From the start of his career in the 1940s to his retirement in the 1990s, he was a proponent for the use of a limited number of square dance calls.  He believed that a caller with personality, good timing, and imagination could do a great deal with a limited vocabulary of calls.  This album was released in 1962 and places a spotlight on the way Joe entertained dancers without overwhelming them.

A name that many will not be familiar with - Jim York was one of the most influential callers in modern square dancing.  Jim started calling in 1947 at a time when square dancing was done by routines and it was Jim York who created variety of movement through new routines.  Many of the movements within his routines would evolve into a separate call unto itself.  

In the ten years that he was active, he wrote more new material and routines than anyone before or since.  He passed away in 1957 at the age of 43.  This dance is part two of a recording from 1956.  There are very few known recordings of Jim York but here is a good one that spotlights his enthusiasm and creativity.  .

The year is 1950 and two new albums are out - the first is the only known studio recording of Lloyd "Pappy" Shaw.  Considered by many to the father of Modern Square Dancing, Dr. Shaw gained an impressive reputation through the publication of his book - "Cowboy Dances" and the touring performances of his Cheyenne Mountain School students.

This recording features three dances from the "Duel In The Sun" motion picture.  

Also in 1950 came the release of a series of albums for both the new and experienced dancer from the newly formed Windsor Records label.  At the helm of Windsor Records was Doc Alumbaugh, a retired medical doctor who was full-time in teaching and calling in Southern California.  Doc was considered not only a pioneer in the early modern square dance movement, but also an avid promoter.   

This recording features two dances from his Dances For Experienced Dancers on Windsor.
