He also called dances regularly at his home state of California.[5] He was known for dressing up in a Western-style at his events he worked, once stating that "short sleeves have been eliminated" while describing what he saw as a "rigid" dress code for square dance callers in a 1952 article.[5] Jones also released records of his calls under the C.

MacGregor Company imageProfile: The C.P. MacGregor Company was a Los Angeles, California sound recording firm that was started in the 1920s by C.P. "Chip" MacGregor, a former manager at the San Francisco office of Brunswick Records (then owned by Warner Bros.). The company became very successful and lasted until his death in 1977, producing, recording, and transcribing numerous radio commercials for business and politics, nationally syndicated radio shows, public announcements, educational and instructional recordings, training recordings, interviews and speeches, and a wide variety of music for numerous record companies between the 1930s and 1970s. An associated recording studio, a radio performance studio with live audience space, record label, and record pressing facility were integral parts of the operation.Besides the C.P. MacGregor Studios at 729 S. Western Ave in Hollywood, there was as a studio on Mission Street in San Francisco from 1932 to 1937, and a pressing plant in Oakland, California which produced "Royal Blue" 78 RPM discs for Columbia Records in the 1930s. MacGregor became so prolific at producing electrical transcriptions that he was called "the DeMille of the discs"; original syndicated "Hollywood-Style dramas" were produced on-site which were sold to radio stations across the country for $17.50 per episode. MacGregor also provided recording services for the Armed Forces Radio Service (AFRS). Little is known about this West Coast San Francisco and later Hollywood record label. The Brunswick phonograph headquarters for the entire West Coast was established at 980-982 Mission Street, with a phonograph department on the mezzanine floor. By 1924 C.P. MacGregor was the manager of the Brunswick division for the San Francisco territory. This was probably the same MacGregor who later made custom records issued by the MacGregor and Ingram Recording Laboratories, a firm listed in San Francisco’s 1930 and 1931 phone books. C. P. “Chip” MacGregor's San Francisco studio was a leader in the production and distribution of low-cost syndicated transcription series during the early 1930s, following the development of program syndication by Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll of Amos ’n’ Andy.) Famous are the 1931 Anson Weeks transcription discs recorded in San Francisco for coast-to-coast broadcasts, Nick Lucas recordings, and later Musical Library recordings for Film and Radio purposes. From 1932 to 1937 the company was MacGregor and Sollie. C. P. MacGregor, producer/transcriber/recording Studio owner, died in Hollywood, CA, USA Dec. 5, 1968. Age: 71. In 1924, MacGregor was Brunswick Records manager for the San Francisco territory. He later had his own studios; "CP MacGregor Studios" , at 729 S. Western Avenue, Hollywood, CA, where many stars were recorded, including Nick Lucas.
