SCOLDING WIFE [8]. American, Reel (cut time). A Major. AEac# or AEae tuning (fiddle). AA'B. This "Scolding Wife" tune, unrelated to other old-time or Texas-style tunes with that title, was in the repertoire of Burrell Reed, a fiddler originally from southwest Oklahoma. He was recorded in October, 1973, by Chris Delaney (tapes housed at Library of Congress, AFC 1973/026: AFS 112,991). A "Scolding Wife" tune, quite possibly this one, was recorded in Dallas, Texas, in 1929, by the Thomasson Brothers[1], for OKeh records, although it appears the side was never issued.
