Episode 323: Vintage MWSD in 1961 - Marshall Flippo’s first album
Sunday Feb 21, 2021
Sunday Feb 21, 2021
Buddy Weaver Music is the copyright owner of Blue Star Records. This episode features Blue Star Records 1001, the first long-play album featuring Marshall Flippo.
Released in June 1961 and an excellent representation of the square dance music, calls, and style of the time. For today's dancer, you may notice there are none of the "Ocean Wave" calls that are so popular today. The pace of dancing is a bit quicker and is true "wind-in-your-face" dancing. Marshall Flippo was the master of moving dancers smoothly from call to call.
