Just Cruzing

Is this a recently composed piece? Pretty funky sounding title.

Just Cruzing

Composer: Gerry Holland

Corrections

That would be Jerry, not Gerry, Holland. And the title is “Just Cruising”. From Jerry’s first collection of fiddle tunes, edited by Paul Cranford, where there are a few small differences.

The ABAG in the first measure is A2 FA.
The ABAF in the third measure is BAFA.
The GBag in the 2nd ending to the A part is GABg.
The eA in the first and fifth measures of the B part is e2 with a trill.
The eAcA in the third measure of the B part is ecAF.
The GAAG in the fourth measure of the B part is GBAG.
The EAAG in the last measure is EGAG.
The ornaments indicated in the A part also occur on the first note of the third and seventh measures of the B part and all are two sixteenth notes followed by an eighth note (all the same note).
