O'BRIEN. American (?), Schottische. E Minor ('A' part) & G Major ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). Learned by Arizona fiddler Kenner C. Kartchner from an old Edison record in Holbrook, 1903. This may have been the "O'Brien" recorded on Edison Amberol (12346) sung by Florrie Forde (1876-1940), although the recording was released only in 1912.
