Back to Hobb's Favorite
HOBB'S FAVORITE. AKA and see "Boston Rattlers'," "Colonel McBain's," "Connemara Stockings," "Miss Abercrombie's Reel," "Winter Apples (1)." American, Scottish (originally) Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. An American variant of an older British Isles import, of which both Scottish and Irish versions are common. Presumably 'Hobb's' was a regional New England musician, and William Bradbury Ryan's (or publisher Elias Howe's) source. The "Boston Rattlers'" alternate title would seem to support its currency among 19th century New England musicians. "Colonel McBain's" first strain is the second strain of "Hobb's Favorite."
