BIRDIE [3]. Old-Time, Breakdown. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). C Major. In the repertoire of Fiddlin' Cowan Powers 1877-1952? (Russell County, southwest Virginia) and Glen Lyn, Viriginia, fiddler Henry Reed. Reed's tune is identified by Alan Jabbour as the customary "Bridie" tune (the second and third parts) coupled with a strain from the tune usually known as "Fourteen Days in Georgia" (the first part of Reed's "Birdie").

Recorded sources: Folkways FTS-31039, "The Red Clay Ramblers with Fiddlin' Al McCandless" (1974) {learned from Henry Reed, Glen Lyn, Va., via Alan Jabbour}. Recorded by Fiddlin' Cowan Powers (b. 1877, S.W. Va.) for Victor in 1924, though the side was not issued.
