Square Dance - Mildred Bulher:

Mildred R. Buhler was a popular caller in northern California in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Here she is calling to her demonstration group from the Redwood City Docey-Doe Club. When her husband was transferred to London for his work, she took her calling equipment with her and called there, later establishing the British Association of American Square Dance Clubs.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
