The Girl I Left Behind is a good, standard G tune. It was one of the first tunes I learned by ear, because I heard it a lot as a kid.

Still in the key of A, Liza Jane
Our version of “Liza Jane,” and Old Town School favorite, came from J.P. Fraley of Maysville, Kentucky. His first LP was repacked into a Rounder Records CD, “Wild Rose of the Mountains.”

Fiddle 2 (Tue) – week 2
Cindy, in the key of A
by the Volo Bogtrotters = 4 fiddles and 1 harmonica
Cindy demonstrated
This version has a few more notes than the skeleton of the tune we learned in class. Listen carefully a bunch of times, and I bet you can add some of those notes. They’re ones you already use.
