FEVER IN THE SOUTH. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Missouri. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. It is on Missouri fiddler Charlie Walden's list of '100 essential Missouri fiddle tunes'. "Fever in the South" is Vee Latty's (1910-1956) reworking of "Sally Ann (1)" (and a member of the Sally Ann/Sail Away Ladies/Great Big Taters tune family). Walden called Latty "one of the Ancients", meaning a fiddler who taught the fiddlers that Walden himself learned from, and Walden himself had this tune from a home recording of Vee obtained from Latty's son, Wayne. Latty performed on WOS radio in the 1920's.

Source for notated version: Vee Latty (Fulton, Calloway County, Mo.) [Phillips].

Printed sources: Phillips (Traditional American Fiddle Tunes), 1994; p. 83.

Recorded sources: Missouri State Old Time Fiddlers' Association, Vee Latty (1910-1956) - "Fever in the South."
