BORING THE LEATHER [1]. Irish, English; Jig. D Minor (Huntington/Litten): E Minor (Miller). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. William Litten, in whose manuscript copybook this tune appears, was a ship's fiddler on a ship or ships attached to the British India fleet, 1800-1802. The manuscript was brought to the Massachusetts island of Martha's Vineyard aboard a whaleship by Allen Coffin of Edgartown in the early 19th century and remained on the island, although how it came to Coffin's possession is unknown.
