Old Time Fiddlin Tunes - Cornhuskers Series No 4
Description
If you are into old time fiddlin’ tunes this is the vintage song book for you. This was the fourth book in the so called Corn Huskers Series of old time tunes that were very popular in Eastern Canada during the 1930’s and ‘40’s prior to the onslaught of American rock music hitting the country. Mostly written in “cut time” beat, these fast paced violin tunes scored with piano represented the down east beat that was later popularized on CBC television as Don Messer’s Country Jubilee. It became the beat of the times. These were complied by Harry E. Jarman a local radio producer and sometime song writer turned publisher. He formed Jarman Publications Ltd in Toronto and made a name for himself as a music publisher of Canadian musical material that featured piano, choral, and square-dance music. Jarman’s five square-dance books, came to life in what he marketed as the Cornhuskers Series of musical repertoire, How to Square Dance, Square Dance Tunes, Dance Calls Only, Old Time Fiddlin’ Tunes, and How to call Square Dances. These were very popular. In June 1979 Harry Jarman retired and he died in 1987. This is an uncommon and interesting piece of Canadiana for musicians, collectors and old tyme fanciers.
