Thread Name: Req: Name of this Stan Treacy tune???
Subject: Tune Req: Name of this tune???
I have transcribed this tune from an Australian traditional fiddler and am at a loss for its derivation. Stan Treacy played mostly jigs, polkas, schottisches and waltzes so this stood out as unusual. It is clearly latin-american style and I vaguely recall dancing to music like this at school socials - the cha cha barn dance probably - and the Alan Ford dance band. Anyway here is the abc:
X:1
T:Crookwell Goes Latin-American
N:from the fiddle playing of Stan Treacy, Crookwell, NSW
N:collected by Don Brian and transcribed and arranged by Dave Johnson
N:Play (AB) x times then finish with A
M:4/4
L:1/8
K:G
P:A
