"Bound to Have a Little Fun" is an old-time breakdown in G Major. The parts are played<br> AA'BB'.<br> The tune was popularized by the playing of Kentucky fiddler Bruce Green, who learned it<br> from Gusty Wallace. Gustace "Gusty" Wallace was born in Hart County, Kentucky, on<br> November 24, 1890, but lived in Metcalf County, Kentucky when Bruce Green visited<br> him in the 1970's. Wallace claimed it was the first tune he ever learned and that he<br> had it from his father, Adison Wallace. The second strain contains twelve measures<br> instead of the usual eight.<br> It was printed in Lamancusa's The Gettysburg Collection of Old-Time Fiddle Tunes (2021)<br> and Don Pedi's Bound to Have a Little Fun: 24 Fiddle Tunes for Dulcimer (includes CD).<br> It was recorded by, Orpheus Supertones on Bound to Have a Little Fun (2004).<br>
