INDIAN CREEK. AKA - "Indian Creek Rag." American, Reel (cut or 2/4 time). USA, Tenn. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDECC (Phillips). "[The tune] Originated with the Stringer Brothers, in Humphreys County (Tenn.) about 1920. The Stringers learned it from another West Tennessee fiddler who called it 'Band Piece' because he got it off an old phonograph recording of it played by a brass band. The Stringers modified it. Arthur (Smith) modified it still more and named it 'Indian Creek' in honor of the road the Stringers lived on near McEwen (Tenn.)" {Charles Wolfe and Barry Poss}. John Hartford's version of the story relates:

[The tune,] credited to Arthur Smith, supposedly was made after hearing a brass band concert and walking home to Indian Creek trying to remember one of the tunes.

At heart, the tune is a quadrille piece transformed into a breakdown and played at lightning speed by Smith.
