28 Jan 17 - 02:12 PM (#3835349) Subject: Fele gubbeni (Swedish tune) From: Jack Campin At a Swedish session yesterday somebody played a lovely tune called "Fele gubbeni" (the old man's fiddle) with an interesting backstory - the old man was found living alone in a house after his parents had both died, almost unable to communicate verbally but able to play that tune on his fiddle. I can't find any trace of it on the web, the player has gone back to England and I can't make it back to that session for a while. Anyone here know it? Does it have another name? |
