asterisk image HANHURST'S Tape and Record Service - A site where you can buy square and round dance music, books, amplification equipment and more. You can find old and new music by title, caller or record label and hear samples of much of the music. There is also a list of the best selling music by month and year.

They buy collections of records on Ebay and also sell bunches of records on Ebay. If you call or email them, however, they can search out records you need. Used records are $2.00 and new records $6.20 plus shipping as of Feb. 2007.

asterisk image sdfne.org/ - The web site of Square Dance Foundation of New England, Inc. There is lots of interesting information on the site but in their "library" section there are a series of interviews Bob Brundage had with many famous callers which are quite interesting and provide a first hand look at the history of modern square dancing. Also there is a link to a page Jim Mayo and Clark Baker have created where you can listen to several famous callers actually calling patter and performing a singing call. These recordings were taken from tapes recorded in the 50s and 60s.

Kits for school can be ordered, individual records can be ordered and custom CDs containing multiple tunes you request can be ordered for $20. Also by clicking on the tunes you can see the cue sheets for most of the music.

The Kentucky Dance Foundation is the home of Michael and Mary Herman's Folk Dancer records of which there are 28,400 different tunes. Many of these appear on the 63 CDs in their catalog and many are on sale individually when available. In some cases music not already on CD but in their archive can be made available on special CDs. If you want folk dance music or music for traditional square dances this is the site to visit.
