BUFFALO GALS [3]. AKA - "Buffalo Girl." American, Reel (cut time). A Major. AEae tuning (fiddle). AB. Recorded by Herbert Halpert in the field in 1939 for the Library of Congress, from the playing of Mississippi fiddler John Hatcher. The tune bears either no or some small similarity to the tune usually known as "Buffalo Gals (1)" in 'G', depending on the listener. Unusual is that it starts on the high or fine part of the two parts. Hatcher told Halpert that "Buffalo Gals (1)" was the 'modern' way to play the tune.
