[NSP] October TOTM: hornpipe

[John Dally]

For the October Tune of the Month is to play a hornpipe, or two, of
your choosing.  This broad catagory should have something for
everyone.

Please post links to your uploads in the NSP news group and on the forum:

Of course, your suggestions are always welcome.  The goal is to make
this as open and enjoyable as possible, in other words, to share a
good tune.

[NSP] October TOTM update

[John Dally]

Here is a fine example of hornpiping.

The question has come up, is a hornpipe a style or a type?  My answer
is, yes.  This isn't a competition, so please feel free to explore
definitions rather strain to fit inside them.

cheers,

John
