Pa’s Fiddle: Charles Ingalls, American Fiddler
Courtesy of the Little House books, Pa Ingalls is perhaps the 19th-century American fiddler about whom we know most. We know the names of many of the tunes and songs he played, where he played them, for whom, and often why he chose them. This recording, which draws from the instances when Pa is chronicled playing his fiddle alone, aims to place him among the first rank of old-time fiddlers whose music is foundational to so much in American music.

“There is one thing that will always remain the same to remind people of little Laura’s days on the prairie, and that is Pa’s fiddle.” –Laura Ingalls Wilder

Dean Butler: Remembering Pa
As TV’s original Almanzo, Dean Butler is grateful for his connection to Laura Ingalls Wilder, her Little House on the Prairie books, and, most significantly, the television series they inspired. In 2019, for the 45th anniversary of the Little House series, Dean recorded four of the songs Pa Ingalls played for his family during their adventures on the prairie in the late 1800s. These songs and so many others provided Laura’s Little House books with a sturdy melodic foundation.
