DOUG MACMASTER'S. AKA and see "Fancy (The)." Canadian, Hornpipe. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. Paul Cranford wrote that he thought it likely the tune had an Irish provenance, and it is a version of the Irish "Gypsy Hornpipe (7)" or "Dan Sullivan's Favorite". However, it was also printed in Scotland in W.B. Laybourn's as "Fancy (The)." The Canadian arrangement and title, Cranford says, comes from a 1958 solo recording by MacMaster at the home of Doug and Peg MacMaster.

Source for notated version: Winston Fitzgerald (1914-1987, Cape Breton) [Cranford].

Printed sources: Cranford (Winston Fitzgerald), 1997; No. 49, p. 19.
