DICKEY GOSSIP [2]. AKA and see "Dublin Hornpipe (3) (The)," "Jaunting Car." Irish, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The provenance of this tune is not certain. It was published twice in Kerr's Merry Melodies (c. 1880's); in vol. 2 as "Jaunting Car", and vol. 4 as "Dublin Hornpipe (3) (The)," and in Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883) also as "Jaunting Car."

Source for notated version: The hornpipe appears in Church of Ireland cleric James Goodman's mid-19th century manuscripts. Goodman (1828-1896) was an uilleann piper, and an Irish speaker who collected locally in County Cork and elsewhere in Munster. He also obtained tunes from manuscripts and published collections [Shields].

Printed sources: C. Maguire (The Hidden Fermanagh), 2003; p. 84. Shields/Goodman (Tunes of the Munster Pipers), 1998; No. 132, p. 55.
