MOUNTAIN HORNPIPE [1], THE. AKA and see "Ice on the Pumphandle," "Mountains of Kerry (The)," "Old Skeddadalink" (W.Va. title), "Doug's Favorite," "Douglas's Favorite Hornpipe," "Shape's Hornpipe" (Pa.), "Hopple's Tune" (Pa.), "Reel Maginot," "Woody's Hornpipe." English, Irish, American; Hornpipe: Old-Time, Breakdown. USA; southwestern Pa., W.Va. G Major (most versions): A Major (Bowman). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A hornpipe, perhaps of Irish provenance, although with a long history in the United States. Samuel Bayard (1981), who found several versions in the repertory of southwestern Pennsylvania fiddlers, considered it to be "at least a little older" than the 1840's or 1850's, perhaps knowing it was published by Elias Howe in Boston as early as 1851 (it continued to be published in Howe's publications and later derivatives for some ninety years). It was in the repertoires of West Virginia old-time fiddler Melvin Wine (who called it "Old Skeddadalink") and Maine fiddler Mellie Dunham (the elderly Dunham was Henry Ford's champion fiddler in the late 1920's). An untitled version ("Reel (26)") was published by Samuel Bayard in Hill Country Tunes (1944), collected in 1943 from the playing of David Gilpin, a southwestern Pa., fiddler.
Montreal fiddler Isidore Soucy (1899-1963) included his irregular version of the tune in his "Gigue irlandaises (1)" as the last in a medley of three tunes on his first recording, in 1925.
