The dance tune “Old Dad” was originally an Irish tune called “Pigtown Fling,” but in the US it goes by many names, including “Old Dad,” “Wild Horse at Stony Point,” “Buck Creek Girls,” and more. It’s a two-part tune in the key of G, and Bruce’s version owes a lot to the way fiddler John Rector played it. Bruce walks you through the melody of both parts of “Old Dad” in this video, and also shows you a variation on the A part that John Rector played.
