Profile in Callers and Cuers

Johnny began calling in 1970 and in 1979 went fulltime as a caller. He has called in 47 of the 50 states including the Alaska State convention in Fairbanks. He has been featured on many large weekend festivals such as the Delaware Valley Festival in Philadelphia and the Baltimore festival where the attendance exceeded 200 squares. In 1981, Johnny was instrumental in forming a callers quartet called "The Red Boot Boys." The boys were together for 23 years doing more than 150 dance/concerts per year. One of their more memorable weekends was the Greater Atlanta Extravaganza in the mid 80's where more than 1600 dancers were in attendance and they brought in The Red Boot Band for the Saturday night concert. Johnny recorded for Red Boot Records with many hits to his credit and recorded 14 albums with the "Boys." Johnny & his wife Penny reside in Dacula, GA.
