"A & E Rag", also known as "Buck River" is an American reel in cut time<br> and A Major ('A' part) & E Major ('B' part).<br> The parts are played AA'AA'BB'BB'.<br> According to Drew Beisswenger (2008), “Buck Fever” was source Lonnie<br> Robertson’s alternate title for the tune. Beisswenger notes a good deal<br> of musical similarity with the Kentucky tune<br> "Old Flannagin"/"Old Flannigan",<br> both having a second strain close to<br> "Old Mother Flanagan",<br> with a first strain that is shared with "Saratoga Hornpipe" and a<br> number of other related melodies.<br> It was printed in Beisswenger & McCann's Ozarks Fiddle Music (2000) and<br> Sanella's Balance and Swing (1990).<br> It was recorded by<br> Lonnie Robertson on a privately issued extended play LP (1965) and<br> on Lonnie’s Breakdown (1965).<br>
