Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
"The Boston Boy" is related to "Take Me Back to Georgia", "Ladies in the Ballroom" and<br> "Rattlesnake Bit the Baby". It is an Old-Time Bluegrass breakdown, usually in D Major but<br> sometimes in C.<br> The tune was a favorite of "Uncle Pen" Vanderver,<br> a fiddler made famous by Bill Monroe's famous song (he was also Monroe's uncle).<br> The 'A' part of "Boston Boy" is similar the 'C' part of "Texas Gales/Gals."It is<br> available at the Traditional Tune Archive website http://tunearch.org and at<br> John Lamancusa's fiddle tune website http://www.mne.psu.edu/lamancusa/tunes.html.<br> Recorded by Mac Benford and the Woodshed All-Stars on Willow (1996).<br> I learned it from print, first from Bill Abbey (in C) and then from John Lamancusa's<br> site.<br>
