JIMMY LINN'S HORNPIPE. American, Hornpipe/Clog. B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Can be used as a Clog" (Cole). Composed credited to a "J.L." in Ryan's Mammoth, presumably the self-same Jimmy Linn (about whom nothing is known). The clog was picked up by Cape Breton fiddlers such as Winston Fitzgerald and John Campbell from Cole's 1000, and has since been recorded by other Cape Breton style fiddlers.
