SQUARE DANCES (MacGregor). Red River Valley, Solomon Levi, Oh Johnny, Turkey in the Straw, Red Wing and other classics with Fenton ("Jonesy") Jones as the caller. Jonesy's instructions are melodious and comparatively easy to follow, intended for initiates into these arcane rites, e.g., "Box the flea," and "Allemande left with a high tuck a shaw/Take a little bow with your mother...
