SAILOR SPRINGS. American, Quadrille or Reel (cut time). USA, Illinois. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. "Sailor Springs" is from a 1976 field recording of fiddler Charles "Charlie" Overton Fulk (1916-1980) of Ingraham, Clay County, south-central Illinois. It is a quick but stately piece, perhaps part of a quadrille set. The title, "Sailor Springs", refers to another small community in Clay County (population just 95 in the 2010 census).
