Keeler Calling - audio

These six files are the recordings contained in Keeler Calling, the 1950 release by New York caller Elisha Keeler.

The album's first three disks contained the six dances, one on each side; the final one contained spoken instructions for each dance. For our site, we have changed the order so that each clip presents the instructions followed by the dance.

  1. Red River Girl
  2. Dig for Oysters
  3. Birdie in the Cage
  4. Ladies in the Center
  5. Cut Off Three on a Side
  6. Lady Round the Lady and the Gent To Follow
