Pip R. Lagenta | Union Maid -- Instrumental on Ukulele and Guitar @PipRLagenta | Uploaded October 2013 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Friends of Old Puppy play Union Maid. The "Union Maid" melody was originally written around about 1846 by composer Robert Schumann for his composition for piano entitled "The Happy Farmer, Returning From Work" that appeared in his 1848 work "Album for the Young, Opus 68". Kerry Mills adapted this melody for his popular song, "Red Wing", written in 1907. Woody Guthrie applied his lyrics to the "Red Wing" melody to create his "Union Maid" song. The lyrics are not used in this performance. Therefore, really, the Friends of Old Puppy band is playing "Red Wing". The Friends of Old Puppy band features Steven Strauss on (Risa) electric soprano ukulele, Kurt Stevenson on guitar, Ed Johnson on wash-tub bass ("gutbucket"), and Cynthia Wilson on the drums. This music was recorded on April 24, 2010.
Videographed, sound engineered (such as it is), and edited by Pip R. Lagenta.
Steven Strauss and the Friends of Old Puppy band play at the Nabolom Bakery in Berkeley, every Saturday morning (starting at 10 a.m.).
