GRAND HORNPIPE [1]. American, Hornpipe/Reel (cut time). USA; Indiana, Ky. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC. A member of a large tune family that includes "Cricket on the Hearth," "Damon's Winder," "Devil in Georgia (2) (The)," "Drunken Billy Goat," "Marmaduke's Hornpipe," "Mud Fence," "Ride the Goat Over the Mountains," "Rocky Mountain Goat," "Swiss Chalet." The name "Grand Hornpipe" is particular to northeastern Kentucky, although the tune is most commonly known in that region and other parts of the South as "Rocky Mountain Goat" (Titon, 2001). The term 'hornpipe' in American old-time vernacular is somewhat of a misnomer, for the tunes are often played as reels, with any vestige of dotted rhythm ironed out but the speed at which they are played. There is a lot of individual variation, however, and some fiddlers retain something of the dotted hornpipe rhythm.
