The 1920s - that's when Jim Crawford first took the stage. Now, at age 90, Jim recorded this CD, distilling the essence of nine decades of music making. Some people play Scottish traditional music. Jim Crawford is the tradition.
Bio / Background
It is the 1920s . . . the event a harvest home. A boy sits beside the fiddler, his father, and takes a turn on the melodeon.
Jim Crawford has been playing Scottish music ever since. After a career as a dance band leader from the 1940s through the 1970s, he has returned to the melodeon, the instrument he held on his knee at that harvest home.
The melodeon is a small, light instrument. Two sets of reeds, two rows of buttons, a thumb strap to connect the right hand to the box. But Jim says that you can play all of Scottish music on it, and the distinctive sound is what he likes to hear himself.
For this CD, Jim has selected tunes that suit the melodeon. Jim has included sets that will be new to you. His own composition "The July Fair" conveys his childhood memories of the annual Milnathort market fair, . Listen for the sounds and sights of the fair - German bands and carousels. Other sets are old, of the era when young men took pride in ploughing a good rig.
