CINCINNATI HORNPIPE [1]. AKA - Wobbly Ears," "Wobble Gears." AKA and see "Cork Hornpipe (1) (The)," "Harvest Home (1)." American, Hornpipe. USA; New England, Arkansas, Missouri. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part (Burchenal): AABB (most versions). The composition has occasionally been credited to "Fischer," without further explanation. The tune has been used in New England for the dance "Lady of the Lake" and has been sometimes called by that name. Instructions for a dance called "The Cincinnati Hornpipe" are printed along with the tune in Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883). It was widely disseminated and appears in tradition among fiddlers from many parts of the East and Midwest United States. The title appears in a list of traditional Ozark Mountain fiddle tunes compiled by musicologist/folklorist Vance Randolph, published in 1954. It was in the repertoires of Ohio fiddler Estill Adams, Nebraska fiddler Bob Walters (b. 1889) and Missouri fiddler Kelly Jones (b. 1947), who, having the ability to read music, learned this and other tunes from Cole's 1000 Fiddle Tunes, as previous sight-reading mid-western fiddlers had learned such tunes from both Cole's 1000 and its predecessor, Ryan's Mammoth Collection. Many of the alternate titles listed above are not exact duplicates of the tune, but rather tunes which share a similar prominent melodic motif. These include "Brown's Hornpipe," "Cliff Hornpipe," "Dundee Hornpipe," "Fisherman's Favorite (The)," "Fred Wilson's Clog," "Granny Will Your Dog Bite? (3)" (southwestern Pa. title), "Kephart's Clog" (southwestern Pa.), "Kildare Fancy," "Higgins' Hornpipe," "Lady of the Lake (4)" (Burchenal), "Ruby Lip," "Snyder's Jig," "Standard Hornpipe," "Wilson's Clog (1)," "Zig-Zag Hornpipe."
