That's my grandfathers guitar in the back. He was sick that say and couldnt make it. He passed away last year. R.I.P. My uncle has the guitar now!

@mubudubum If that is Cecil McEachern's guitar, I am hoping to reach you who posted this. I have heard that guitar in Cece's living room. I have been searching for Cece's son David Alexander McEachern for many years. If that name means anything to you, 1000 thanks for you or Dave responding to this: gregoryjrussell@yahoo.ca. D.A.M. knows who I am.

Wish we still had shows like that here in the lower 48. There's no sex and violence, so the idea having a show like this today would go to the trash can quick. What a shame. Great family entertainment. Viva family entertainment.

On parle de "set called" traduisez en : " une danse callée " et non pas de set carré .. CAr dans certaines danses il y a une personne qui annonce les mouvements .. et il faut suivre sa cadence .. c'est lui qui "call" les shots ! Dans un quadrille, la danse se fait selon un plan carré, ce qui n'est pas la même chose qu'un "pool jones"

Ah! le bon vieux temps

C'est la raison pourquoi je mets "danse carrée" entre guillemets : par chez nous, toute pièce folklorique rapide est une "danse carrée" ! C'est vrai que l'appellation est erronée. Merci d'expliquer d'où vient le mot "carré".

My dad always reminds me that I could dance before I could walk. He says that when I was very little I would hold on to the coffee table and dance when ever Don Messer would come on tv. They tell me that Charlie Chamberlin was my favorite dance partner. I am almost 50 now and still love Don's beautiful music. Thank you for this awesome site. I listen to music on you tube every day while I do my housework or paperwork what ever, I even fall to sleep listening. THANK YOU FROM MY HEART.

we call this "woodchoppers' reel"

[unclejeeps79]

@elmovhossenfopp I agree, it's always been "Woodchoppers Reel" in our circles
