A reel-to-reel tape recording of a live dance held in Honolulu, Hawaii featuring the calling of Frank Lane, Marshall Flippo, and Dick Enderle. Frank and Marshall were considered the top two callers in the country at the time while Dick was an up-and-coming traveling caller.
Nearly sixty-years of age hasn't affected the finished product in this episode. There is occasional distortion caused by either the amplifier output being too loud or the microphone input being set too high. This doesn't take away from the excellence of these three callers.
The tape comes from the Frank Waters collection
