OLD SPORT [1]. American; Reel. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. No relation to "Old Sport (2)" and "Old Sport (3)." WM B. Houchens recorded Miller’s Reel And Old Sport Reel (SILVERTONE 4055-A) in 1924. Houchen's recording matches the notation of Old Sport in Ryan's Mammoth Collection. The tune has gained some currency among Cape Breton musicians.
