BIG CHIEF [2], THE. American, Reel (whole time). USA, southeastern Pa. G Major ('A' part) & E Minor ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Bayard (1981) says this title is a "floater," appearing also in unrelated 6/8 time tunes, and that the only tune he has found resembling this one is "Essence of Tampa." A tune by this title, a variant of "Champion (2)," was printed in a Midwest collection by E.F. Adam (1928), who also printed a different "Big Chief (1)" in 6/8 time.
