i wonder if the recording engineer had him play extra fast to fit it on the record? this is something i've heard about with other tracks not something i'm throwing out there randomly.

@schpoingle I think you are spot on. Artists were limited to just over three minutes on these discs, and that shapes the content.

@DavidN23Skidoo A lot of people play Devil's Dream super-fast. This version is pretty typical. Check out Jean Carignan's version on YouTube for a similar but more recent version (plus some insane pizzicato work).

And remarkably worn! These old fiddle records were obvously favorites of the old timers. I just put up the flip side, and The Arkansas Traveler. I will post Old Zip Coon next week. Thanks for writing!

Man is he flying through this one. No special effects -- he's playing melody on one string while droning on another, and as such it can sound something like two fiddles playing together, or like a fiddle and bagpipe!
