CHICKEN PIE. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA; Arkansas, Oklahoma. A Major. AEae tuning (fiddle). AABB. The title appears in a list of traditional fiddle tunes of the Ozark Mountains, compiled by musicologist/folklorist Vance Randolph, published in 1954. A tune by this title was also recorded in 1939 by Herbert Halpert for the Library of Congress from the playing of Mississippi fiddler W.E. Claunch. A Missouri tune called "Chicken Pie" is a variant of "Dixie Blossoms" but it does not appear to be this tune.
