Ron began calling in Cleveland, Ohio in 1950 as a teenager. In 1963 he made it his fulltime occupation and traveled extensively, calling in nearly all of the fifty states and many provinces of Canada. Over the years he has staffed most all of the major festivals and conventions along with the major square dance resorts such as Kirkwood Lodge (MO), English Mountain (TN), Copecrest (GA), and Rainbow Lake Lodge (NC). In 1976 Ron moved to the Tampa Bay area of Florida where he and his wife, Claudette, operated their own square dance hall. In the fall of 1993 they relocated to Sevierville, Tennessee where Ron now works full time for a log home builder and continues to do some calling.

Ron began recording on the Grenn record label in 1959 but may now be found as a caller on the Dance Ranch label.

Don Williamson has been calling since the early 1960s. His itinerary has taken him throughout most of the United States, the Canadian Provinces, and to several overseas engagements.

Don is owner and producer of Red Boot Records, which has long been one of the leading square dance labels. Don also calls and sings with the Red Boot Boys, a highly popular quartet of square dance callers since 1981. He calls at all levels and has called for the Knoxville Square Dance Association for over 30 years.

When not traveling, Don calls fulltime for several clubs in the East Tennessee and Western North Carolina area. The Western North Carolina Caller/Dancer Federation honored him by placing him in their Hall of Fame as did the Tennessee State association.

Don is a CALLERLAB Accredited Caller Coach and has long been a promoter of the CALLERLAB organization. He served two terms on their executive board. He has conducted numerous callers' schools, seminars, and workshops throughout the square dance world. He authored the basic call FLUTTERWHEEL.

Don and his lovely wife, Mildred, make their home (and Red Boot Productions headquarters) at 52 Crest Drive, Greeneville, TN 37745. They have three children and four grandchildren. He may be reached at (423) 638-7784.
