Man do I love this tune. Or maybe I just love Uncle Earl. Or maybe it's Rayna Gellert's fiddle playing. The Girl, I Left Behind Me is another great energetic appalachian tune. It's modal and in the key of G with two parts. This version comes from the playing of Rayna Gellert on her album Starch & Iron, which is one of my all time favorite. Play the YouTube video below to watch her perform it live with her band, Uncle Earl. Play close attention to the way that she uses her boy, specifically how she uses more bow or accents certain notes in order to maintain that old-timey cadence and feel.
