OLD PISS. AKA and see "Few Days (2)." American, March or Reel. USA, southwestern Pa. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The alternate title, "Few Days", in this case a floater (i.e. it is applied to other tunes as well), was seldom used according to Bayard (1981), who stated that "Old Piss" was one of the best-known tunes among southwest Pennsylvania fifers. The tune is similar in the beginning to "Liberty."
