DICKEY GOSSIP [2]. AKA and see "Dublin Hornpipe (3) (The)," "Jaunting Car." Scottish, Irish; Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The provenance of this tune is not certain, although the earliest printing found is in Edinburgh publisher John Anderson's Anderson's Budget of Strathspeys, Reels & Country Dances (c. 1820). It was published twice in Kerr's Merry Melodies (c. 1880's), with apparent Irish associations; in vol. 2 as "Jaunting Car", and vol. 4 as "Dublin Hornpipe (3) (The)." It also appears in Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883) also as "Jaunting Car."

Additional notes
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 : - Anderson (Anderson's Budget of Strathspeys, Reels & Country Dances), c. 1820; p. 4. C. Maguire (The Hidden Fermanagh), 2003; p. 84. Shields/Goodman (Tunes of the Munster Pipers), 1998; No. 132, p. 55.
