BIG CHIEF, THE. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, southeastern Pa. G Major ('A' part) & E Minor ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Bayard (1981) says this title is a "floater," appearing also in unrelated 6/8 time tunes, and that the only tune he has found resembling this one is "The Essence of Tampa." A tune by this title, a variant of "The Champion [2]," was printed in a Midwest collection by Adam (1928/1931).

Source for notated version: fiddler Willaim Shape (Greene County, Pa., 1930's) [Bayard].

Printed source: Bayard (Dance to the Fiddle), 1981; No. 101, p. 59.
