====== Back Up and Push Rubber Dolly ======


A fiddle tune can have more than one title, or two titles refer to two tunes that are very similar. Examples are: //Lost Indian// (how it's known on most recordings) and //Cherokee Shuffle// (how it seems to be known to fiddlers I meet); //College Hornpipe//, aka //Sailor's Hornpipe// (the "Popeye theme")

From four great mandolinists, these are four versions of the same tune, with two titles -- //Back Up and Push//, and //Rubber Dolly// (the Jethro Burns is //Back (It) Up and Push//)

Not much about Paul Buskirk appears to be on the Internet, but Deke Dickerson recently put up a youtube of Buskirk in a movie, and he's put up some other great pickin' http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=KoolKlipsFromDeke#p/u/21/8fWQBA-i0Tc

====== Weird country names ======







From the liner notes to some albums.

I'm interested in the origins of these names. Did people just make them up? Are they (as probably in the case of Aytchie, from Archie?) mishearings/misspellings of other names?

This is a response I received not long after I posted this list:

My Dad's name was actually “Arleigh”, a twist on Sir Walter “Raleigh”, chosen by his mother. He shortened it to “Arlie” as his stage name because it was easier for others to spell.

====== Mysterious Les Paul album ======





{{:lespaul-madbag.jpg|}}







This is a double vinyl album from Les Paul, 1976, with rerecordings of many songs from earlier in his career, the vocalist Helen Streiff stepping in for Mary Ford on the vocal tracks. The record is on the Mad Bag label (?). I've been able to find little information about the album.





I like many tracks, but I'm curious about one in particular, Russian Gypsies. I'm assuming Les Paul wrote it?





I'm posting {{:russiangypsies-lespaul-edit.mp3|Russian Gypsies}} now, and will post several other tunes later.

Most of the above tracks appear to have identical backing tracks to the equivalent Capitol issues.










====== Belly Dance with Omar Khorshid and His Magic Guitar ======





{{:omarkhorshid.jpg|Belly Dance with Omar Korshid and His Magic Guitar}}





This is a great album. I bought it new in the early 80s, sight unheard, from a Middle Eastern record store. The album is from 1974, manufactured and distributed by EMI Greece. Khorshid is Lebanese, but I wouldn't assume any of these tracks are Lebanese. When I got the record I was familiar, obviously, with "Never on Sunday," but the others I didn't know. This was the first time I heard "Apache," and since then I've found other versions of "La Cumparsita" a famous tango from Uruguay by way of Argentina.





A Google search now yields that "Johnny Guitar" is an instrumental version of the probably vocal theme song to the 1954 movie. (When I searched on this a couple years ago I came up dry.) The P. Lee in the songwriting credit is indeed Peggy Lee.





So my quest (Johnny Quest) continues, now for La Playa on side two and all the tracks on side one. Any info on the sources of those tracks would be much appreciated.





I'm posting the whole album, with none of the tracks trimmed. There are many wonderful moments. Solenzara starts with a low-pitched solo intro, then into the main body of the song, played with a cutting, knife edge style guitar.



Casatschok has these cool breakdown sections and then gets exciting coming out of the guitar solo toward the end. La Playa has an extended percussion intro. (Though it's a guitar album, the percussion is really where it's at.)
