"Back up and Push (1)" is a Canadian reel in D Major. The parts are played AABB.<br> It is attributed to Kirkton, Ontario, fiddler Ward Allen (1924-1965), who won contest after<br> contest in the 1950's and who carved out a successful career for himself as a radio<br> fiddler and recording artist. Allen played with Montana Slim, Wilf Carter ("the father of<br> Canadian country music"), appeared on the Grand Ole Opry and had a radio show on Frank<br> Ryan's station CFRA in Ottawa, Canada.<br> The tune was recorded by Allen as the 'A' side of a 1956 recording for Sparton Records,<br> with his own composition<br> "Maple Sugar"<br> on the 'B' side.<br> This tune is not related to<br> "Back up and Push (2)"<br> which was recorded by the Skillet Licker<br> spin-off group The Georgia Organ Grinders in 1929.<br> It was recorded by Graham Townsend on Le Violon / The Fiddle (1975).<br>
