Description:
When I was a kid I used to play this song ALL the time. My dad thought it was great since it has the Georgia shuffle in it, so he would make me play it every stinkin' time we played a show. I grew so sick of Backup and Push that I went without playing it for about 15 years. At this point, it's still not my favorite tune, but I certainly don't mind playing it - especially if someone requests it. The weather is just gorgeous here tonight in northern Colorado, so I thought it was fitting to take it outside. I'm kind of surprised that I didn't realize before now that Backup and Push is just like Rubber Dolly except for souped up a little bit and in C instead of A. And, I now have my new Fiddle Tune Fact of the Day. :) More about Vi Wickam Website: http://www.vithefiddler.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/vithefiddler Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/vithefiddler Backup and Push According to the Fiddler's Companion BACK UP AND PUSH [1]. AKA and see "Rubber Dolly." Bluegrass; Breakdown. USA, widely known. C Major. Standard tuning. One part (Lowinger): AABB (Brody, Silberberg): AA'BB (Phillips): AA'BB' (Reiner). Gid Tanner and the Skillet Lickers' 1934 version of the piece (backed with "Down Yonder") became the third best-selling country music record for that year. Gid's son, 17 year old Gordon Tanner, played uncredited fiddle lead at the session, according to Tony Russell. Backup and Push Lyrics Did you ever wonder about the riddle What kind of spirit lives in a fiddle Well, it's old Satan, right there a waiting Or are you tuned with the angel band Well, you back up and push Back up and push Back up and push Back off of sin and let Glory in You can't go wrong singing this song Back up and push away Now back up and push. If you let the devil, play on your senses Prepare to suffer the consequences The foolish measure of the worldly pleasure Can only drag you to the roaring fire Well, you back up and push Back up and push Back up and push Back off of sin and let Glory in You can't go wrong singing this song Back up and push away
