In 1958, a new model fife designed by fifer John McDonagh was manufactured in Germany. He narrowly defeated incumbent Republican Governor Joseph W. Fifer. Someone who plays the fife is called a fifer. He became an expert fifer and drummer at Newport Barracks, Newport, Kentucky. Musicians on the battlefield were drummers and buglers, with an occasional fifer. Hugh Mosher was the model for the fifer. Greenwood served as a fifer during the American Revolutionary War at sixteen years of age. A person from Fife is known as a "Fifer". Fifer and Fiddler Pig are frivolous and care-free; Practical Pig is cautious and earnest. Fifer manages to escape and hides at Fiddler's house. Meanwhile, Fiddler and Fifer Pig alert their brother to the situation. With their captors trapped, Fifer and Fiddler then escape and rush back to Practical's house. The production cast the title characters as "Fifer Pig", "Fiddler Pig", and "Practical Pig". He has single Test and ODI fifer each as well.
