MISS SHEPHERD'S HORNPIPE. AKA and see "Scotch Hornpjpe (6)." Scottish, Hornpipe. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune appears in the 1835-41 music manuscript collection of Wyresdale, Lancashire, musician James Winder as "Scotch Hornpipe." Where O'Neill or Winder obtained the tunes is unknown, as is the provenance. However, there is nothing particularly characteristic of Irishness or Scottishness about the melody.
