Notes for Carl J. Erickson
Lovisa's Waltz (Minnie Lovisa Erickson Parkins, ca. 1920?). Hand-written sheet music for this lovely instrumental are in the collection of the Ilo-Vollmer Historical Society. The songwriter grew up in a musical family near Cragmont, Idaho. The piano rendition posted as the October 2010 Idaho Song of the Month is by her granddaughter, Shirley Clovis Nebergall.
Cold Springs Waltz (Karl J. Erickson and Minnie Erickson Parkins, 1901). This lovely waltz was found at the Ilo-Volmer Historical Society at Cragmont, Idaho. The writers were homesteaders and fiddlers from the Cragmont area. The rendition here consists of an unrehearsed piano interpretation by Sean Rogers of Boise from the handwritten score shown at right. Gary Eller added banjo in the three-finger style that was popular over one hundred years ago (predating the bluegrass banjo style by many decades). This rendition appears on the CD/booklet High Tone Music of Idaho (2010).
