It’s Cinco de Mayo, a regional Mexican holiday that has become a major celebration of Mexican heritage in the United States. Here in Albuquerque, music and fun highlight Cinco De Mayo. Today’s a good day to break out your Latin-themed records, and maybe play some mariachi music during the breaks.

American Square Dancer has a new article on sight calling.

We have a festival in Albuquerque this weekend: New Mexico Single Square Dancers Spring Fling.

Musical ideas:

In 1949 (the year I was born, if anyone’s interested), Lovesick Blues by Hank Williams was at the top of the charts. In 1957, A White Sport Coat (And a Pink Carnation) by Marty Robbins was at the top. I know these have square dance versions because I have the records.
