Crankin' It Up



Here is a fiddle record from 1924. The Girl I Left Behind Me was an old song then, but you still hear it played today in the right types of gatherings. This is played by Patrick Gaffney as you would have heard it played at a dance, that is basically, the same thing played over and over again for the dancers. Fiddlers today commonly put together a medley of fiddle tunes for audiences who seek listening pleasure, not a square dance.
