Back to Memories of Winston
MEMORIES OF WINSTON. Canadian, Strathspey. Canada, Cape Breton. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABCD. Composed by fiddler Jerry Holland (Cape Breton) in honor of Winston 'Scotty' Fitzgerald (1915-1987), whom Paul Steward Cranford calls "the most influential Cape Breton recording artist during the post war period." Holland learned many tunes from Fitzgerald's recordings, met the elder fiddler as a child, and as a young man played with him in the Cape Breton Symphony. The strathspey has pride of place as the very first tune in Holland's first printed collection of tunes.
