Caller is Buddy Weaver

Produced for use in grade schools and popular as a 33 1/3 long play record, the "EZ Series" produced by Norman Merrbach (owner of Blue Star Records) was a series of albums.  This is the fifth in the series featuring Marshall Flippo doing the calling.

Material used is terrific for classes and SSD level dances.

This episode we feature a vintage Blue Star Records long-play album recorded by Johnnie Wykoff and Jerry Helt.  Released in October 1974 as Blue Star 1026.  This is the time period when album sales to dancers had reached its peak.  Almost every traveling caller sold his albums at his dances.  They were a great marketing tool for the caller while providing home dancers the opportunity to dance when a caller wasn't available.
