"Calico Corn", also known as "Calico's Corn" is an American reel in 2/4 time and<br> D Major. The parts are played AABB.<br> The reel is sourced to Gilbert "Gib" Ingram (1893-1980), a farmer and fiddler<br> from the Oakland, Illinois area, who moved to Hindsboro later in life.<br> When he was contacted by collectors Garry Harrison and Jo Burgess he had not<br> played the fiddle for many years, but was willing to try to resume playing when<br> asked. The authors write: "His style was a rhythmic one, and he mostly favored<br> series of short bow strokes over slurs". Ingram was recorded in the field in<br> Oakland in 1976.<br> Calico corn is also known as Indian corn and has kernels that have red, yellow<br> and brownish red striping and mottling.<br> It was printed sin Harrington & Burgess' Dear Old Illinois (2007).<br> It was recorded by The Indian Creek Delta Boys on The Indian Creek Delta Boys (2015)<br> and Lynn 'Chirps' Smith on Midwestern Harvest (1994).<br>
