Bill Cheatham

Reel · 4/4 · A major

Bill Cheatham is a popular American fiddle tune of traditional origin with no single established composer. Played as a lively reel in 4/4 meter and A major, it features an upbeat character driven by a steady, rhythmic bounce well-suited for square dancing. Because its exact historical roots remain uncertain, performers focus on its energetic, interlocking melodic strains rather than any specific narrative association.
