SIERRA SWING. USA, swing tune (whole or cut time). G major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. "Sierra Swing" composer Marvin Standiford (1919 - 1995) was a prominent California fiddler. He submitted this tune to the National Old Time Fiddlers Association newsletter with this note: "Dear sir, I am sending a copy of a tune I composed in 1987 which I called Sierra Swing. Roscoe and Ossie White helped me put it on tape at the 1988 contest at Niland, Calif. Then Roscoe put it on paper for me. I would like to share it with other musicians who might like it. I get a lot of requests to play it at our jam sessions. I also have some other tunes I have composed if anybody should be interested. If you want to print this one in your paper, I would feel honored."
