SHORES OF LAKE ERIE. American (?), Reel (cut time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Recorded by fiddler William Craig on an Edison cylinder (#9893) in New York, in Aug., 1908, in medley with “Lady Binnie.” Very little is known about Craig who recorded for a few years for Edison, primarily in the Scottish idiom. However, this tune does not appear to have Scottish antecedents and may have been one of Craig's own compositions, perhaps with a title that had relevance for him.
