Carcassonne big set, #2

Title

Carcassonne big set, #2

Subject

Southern / Appalachian / Big sets

Description

This is another example of traditional southern Appalachian big set square dance, recorded by John Ramsay in Carcassonne, Kentucky, September 19, 1991. This clip has a different caller from Carcassonne #1. With relatively few examples on our site of this style of dancing, we have included the dance in its entirety. This one includes at least one figure not shown in #1, lady fall through the old side door.

We think the caller is Harmie Griffie, of Cornettesville, KY, and would appreciate confirmation or correction. The tune is Turkey in the Straw.
