Back to Saddle Old Paint

SADDLE OLD PAINT. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Ohio. G Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). This unusual tune was in the repertoire of Forest Pick (1911-1979), a fiddler from West Portsmouth, southern Ohio, who said he had learned it from a full-blooded Cherokee Indian fiddler named Chief Red Bird who played dances in the area. The Native American fiddler may have taken his name from an earlier Chief Red Bird, who lived in the Kentucky/Ohio area prior to and for a time after the arrival of the first European settlers. The headwaters of the Red Bird River, near Beverly, Kentucky, is named for the historical Cherokee chief. Chief Red Bird and his Oklahoma Cowboys were entertainers and radio performers in the 1930's, who toured the Midwest States.
