Square Dance Video
Boots In Squares, the IAGSDC club in Palm Springs, has a couple of videos (Windows Media) up on their web site. The first one (link on the photo) appears to be a video of their demo at a (probably) gay pride event. The video quality is really wretched, but the sound is good. Deborah Carroll-Jones is calling. First song is “Brown Eyed Girl”, second is “Keep It In the Middle of the Road”, third is a patter (don’t recognize the record), then “Don’t Cry for Me, Pasadena” (about 14 minutes into the video), followed by “Hot, Hot, Hot” and “Shut Up and Kiss Me”. Although the video quality is bad, the music and calling is fun, and would be a good exposure to square dancing for someone who thinks it’s all fiddle/banjo stuff.
The second video shows the Desert Pride 2000 Parade, starting off with a lot of very noisy motorcycles (probably a dykes on bikes group, although the video is so wretched that it’s hard to tell). The square dancers show up about 27 minutes into the video; Deborah’s calling.
