"Laney Tunin' His Fiddle" is an American breakdown in D Major. The parts are played<br> AABB.<br> It was composed by Mrs. Sarah Armstrong, inspired by her Uncle Laney, "the<br> most accomplished fiddler in the family and the one who knew the greatest store of<br> old music" (Bayard 1944). Bayard groups it with "Dream Song" and "Waltzing With the<br> One I Love".<br> All three tunes were composed by Sarah Armstrong. Bayard says that these tunes "demonstrate<br> that the making of melodies is not yet quite dead in Pennsylvania".<br> It was collected from Mrs. Sarah Armstrong, (near) Derry, Pennsylvania on<br> November 18, 1943 by Samuel Bayard.<br> It was printed in Bayard's Hill Country Tunes (1944).<br>
