Tune Req: Boston Fire

My mother says her grandfather used to play a fiddle tune called "Boston Fire". This would have been in the 40's in the midwest.

Does that name ring a bell for anyone?

I know a New England fiddle tune called Fireman's Dance. Could that be it?

re: Fireman's Dance

Beats the heck out of me. She couldn't actually remember the tune just that it was a lively foot-stompin' kinda tune.

I'll see if I can hunt down a midi file of it or something and see if she recognizes it.

Thanks for the suggestion.

The Ceolas site does not have any listed under this name, although there are plenty under "fire".
