Subject: RE: New England Fiddle Music
Desert Dancer just a cool aside .. Galopede was one of the oldest tunes in the copybooks at Litchfield Connecticut . The hand writting was of the oldest style and was in a book hand written in Litchfield in 1803 so that tune has been in New England a long time !! I had never seen it localy till we found the copy book so tunes come to an area and sometimes are left on the shelf 170 years!!! All the best Guy
