OLD SAGE FIELDS [2]. AKA - "Old Sagefields." AKA and see "Old Sage Friend." American, Reel (cut time). USA, Cumberland Plateau region of south-central Ky./north Tenn. border. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBAABBCCDDAA (Phillips): ABACDEBABECDE (Titon). The original title may perhaps be "Old Sage Friend," not "Old Sage Fields." The latter title comes from Kentucky fiddler Jim Bowles (1903-1993) who learned the tune from local musicians. A tune by this name was also in the repertoire of Kentucky fiddler Sammy Walker, but it is a different melody, reminiscent of "Barlow Knife (1)" (see "Old Sage Fields (2)"). Irregular in form, Bowles mixed the parts of the tune on the recording.
