BIG INDIAN HORNPIPE. Old-Time, Hornpipe (cut time). USA, northeast Ky. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Source Buddy Thomas (1935-1974) learned this from northeast Kentucky/southern Ohio playing partners and mentors Morris Allen and Jimmy Wheeler. Thomas fiddle exponent Roger Cooper [1] notes that there is another, different tune by this title played by Kentucky fiddlers George Hawkins and Alfred Bailey, even though they lived in nearby Bath County [Bailey's version can be heard on Rounder CD 0376, "Traditional Fiddle Music of Kentucky, vol. 1", 1997]. Cooper also recalls seeing a tune list from 1932 that contains a tune called "Big Engine Hornpipe." Thomas may have composed the third strain variation himself, notes Cooper, which Thomas said represented an Indian's war cry. See also the related "Lardner's Reel (1)," from Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883).
Buddy Thomas

The tune was also in the repertoire of Portsmouth, Ohio, fiddler and instrument repairer Jimmy Wheeler (1917-1987), who learned it either from his father or Acey "Aaa" Neal. Jeff Goehring says it was one of the "not-strictly Kentucky" tunes "popular among Portsmouth area fiddlers of an earlier era" [2].
