ANYBODY'S HORNPIPE. AKA and see "Dick Sands' Hornpipe." Scottish, Hornpipe. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody was printed a few years after its appearance in Layborhns' Köhlers’ volume, in William Bradbury Ryan's Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883), where it is given as "Dick Sands' Hornpipe" (see "annotation:Dick Sands' Hornpipe"). However, it appears in a section of "Six American Hornpipes" in Köhlers’ , so its provenance may turn out to be American. The first strain is also employed in the French-Canadian "Reel St-Ignace."
