SATURDAY NIGHT RAG. American, Country Rag (cut time). USA; Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The tune was first recorded for Bluebird Records in the Texas Hotel, San Antonio, Texas, by Bill Boyd's Cowboy Ramblers in a blazingly fast version by fiddler Cecil Brower. The group was a transitional one from old-time string band to western swing. They recorded prolifically and appeared in a half-dozen 'B' westerns in the 1940's.
