[78-L] Instrumental tune titles

[Cary Ginell]

Of those, only "Fiddlin' Rag" qualifies. The operative term has to be a verb, not a noun. The other titles you mention have specific instruments mentioned. For example, instead of "steel" if you had "steelin'," that would work. Eddie Lang and Joe Venuti's "Stringing the Blues" works. "Steel Guitar Rag" doesn't.
