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 in the early 20th century, 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.
