	"Barn Dance with Calls"Old-Time Southern Square-Dance Calls on 78s: 1920s–early 1930s
		These radio "barn dance" programs created a format for the presentation of fiddle music, and they may be the reason why square-dance calls were included on so many of the recordings of southern string bands during these early years.
		Therefore, it doesn’t appear that the calls were intended for people to dance to, but rather to enhance the rustic image of an "old-time barn dance" that the record companies were marketing.
		On the earliest "barn dance" records that I am aware of, which were made in 1924 by Whitter’s Virginia Breakdowners, the dance calls on "Sourwood Mountain" and "Mississippi Sawyer" are strangely identical as if the caller were reading them word-for-word from text.
