Tune properties and standard notation


'A' AND 'E' RAG. AKA – “Talk:Buck Fever.” Old‑Time, Reel. USA, Missouri. A Major (‘A’ part) & E Major (‘B’ part). Standard tuning. AABB. According to Drew Beisswenger (2008), “Buck Fever” was source Lonnie Robertson’s alternate title for the tune. Beisswenger notes a good deal of musical similarity with the Kentucky tune Old Flannigan, both having a second strain close to Old Mother Flannigan, with a first strain that is shared with Saratoga Hornpipe (3) and a number of other related melodies (see note for “Saratoga Hornpipe”).

Source for notated version: Lonnie Robertson (1908-1981, Springfield, Mo.) [Beisswenger & McCann].

Printed sources: Beisswenger & McCann (Ozark Fiddle Music), 2008; pg. 114. Sanella (Balance and Swing).

Recorded sources: Caney Mountain Records CEP 102 (privately issued extended play LP), Lonnie Robertson (Mo.), c. 1965‑66. Rounder CD0375, Lonnie Robertson – “Lonnie’s Breakdown” (1965).
