'''OLD BLIND SOW, SHE STOLE THE MIDDLINS.''' AKA and see "[[Paddy O'Meaghan's Reel]]." American, Reel (cut time). G Major. Standard or GDgd tuning (fiddle). AA'BB. Stacy Phillips printed the tune twice in his '''Traditional American Fiddles Tunes''' (1994) under the titles "Old Blind Sow She Stole the Middlins" and as "Paddy O'Meaghan's Reel." Both tunes are attributed to Indiana fiddler [[biography:John W. Summers]], and are very close but not identical, and probably come from two different recordings.  "[[Paddy O'Meaghan's Reel]]" appears to be transcribed from a 1972 field recording by Armin Barnett. There are some similarities between "Old Blind Sow" and the British Isles tunes "[[Navvie on the Line]]" and "[[London Hornpipe (1)]]." See also "[[Montreal Hornpipe]]."
