OLD SAGE FIELDS [2]. American, Reel (cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. This "Old Sage Fields" tune was in the repertory of fiddler Samuel Jackson 'Sammie' (or Sammy) Walker (1910-1987) who lived near the Barren-Metcalf county line, south-central Kentucky, on the Cumberland Plateau. Walker was a blacksmith and farmer as well as a fiddler and was recorded in the field by Bruce Greene in 1975. Jeff Titon [1] remarks that the extended Walker family were/are well-known regional musicians, and that Sammie played for dances and on local radio broadcasts, having learned much of his repertoire from his father.
