KATY DID [1]. AKA and see "Take Me Back to Georgia." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA; north Georgia, northeast Alabama. C Major ('A' part), A Aeolian ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Silberberg): AABB (Brody, Reiner & Anick): AA'BB' (Phillips). A tune by this name was mentioned in reports (1926-31) of the De Kalb County (northeast Alabama) Annual (Fiddlers') Convention (Cauthen, 1990). In the 'B' part the 'E' chord played during the accompaniment may be either major or minor. North Georgia fiddler Lowe Stokes recorded the tune in this third session, in 1929, with guitarist Mike Whitten. Stokes' "Katy Did" was backed with "Take Me Back to Georgia," and some confusion of titles existed because many labels were reversed on the 78 RPM record; thus some fiddlers called "Katy Did" by "Take Me Back to Georgia." Fiddlin' John Carson used the minor mode 'B' part music as part of his recording of "Billy in the Lowland." Stokes 1929 "Katy Did" also goes by the title "Gray Eagle."
