May I draw your attention to an excellent recording, on the Boat Band's first album called(wait for it) "Back Up and Push". |

At the minute, the site has some trial recording of our shanty/rap/hornpipe "Shanty Town" project for the Liverpool City of Culture, which looks set to become weird and wonderful. Also a few other tracks. |

Rest assured in the knowledge that our group 'Pitchpole Jack' will be playing it for a dance in Cheltenham on Saturday. Tradsinger |

02 Jul 08 - 11:32 AM (#2379170) Subject: RE: Wanted: dots for 'Back up and Push' From: JohnInKansas In print, just in my limited collection (limited mostly to the cheap stuff), Back Up and Push appears in: The Craig Duncan Master Fiddle Solo Collection, Mel Bay Publications, ISBN 0-7866-3387-5 The Fiddler's Fakebook, D. Brady/Oak. Melody Line w/ Chords Only Mel Bay's Complete Jethro Burns Mandolin Book, Mel Bay Publications, 1993, ISBN 1-56222-663-0 Anthology Of Mandolin Music, Bud Orr, Mel Bay MB93952, I'm not advocating that you run out and buy a book, but these all are (or have been) popular enough that one of your friends has a copy of at least one of them. (Almost a certainty.) With the variability of older songs in print, you might want to take a look at more than one version before picking the one you want to use. If you can't find it more easily elsewhere, PM an email addy and I can probably find my books to scan one or more, but I can't promise a really prompt response at the moment. John |

02 Jul 08 - 12:02 PM (#2379201) Subject: RE: Wanted: dots for 'Back up and Push' From: GUEST,Hootenanny The tune is one part of the ragtime piece Creole Belles, Mississippi John Hurt used it once or twice. An alternative title is Rubber Dolly Rag which I seem to remember Woody Guthrie recorded and which appears to be a kids skipping rope song. Hoot |

05 Jul 08 - 01:57 AM (#2381449) Subject: RE: Wanted: dots for 'Back up and Push' From: Tradsinger Hi Greg, The band is 'Pitchpole Jack' and we operate around the Gloucestershire area. (Google us) The caller for tonight particularly wanted that tune and our fiddle player is good on that sort of tune. Not an effective melodeon tune, so I will play banjo for it. Cheers Tradsinger |

05 Jul 08 - 06:09 AM (#2381502) Subject: RE: Wanted: dots for 'Back up and Push' From: greg stephens Gavin Lewery was doing his best on melodeon on the version mentioned earlier in this thread! Hope it goes well tonight. We are playing a barn dance tonight in Market Drayton, but won't be playing Back Up and Push. It seems to have dropped from the repertoire. |
