SUMNER'S HORNPIPE. American, Hornpipe (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Similar to "Queen of the West," which is the more common title for the melody. The tune was recorded by Cape Breton fiddle Winston Fitzgerald, paired with “Ferry Bridge Hornpipe,” which appears on the same page in Ryan’s Mammoth Collection (1883) just above “Sumner’s.” Benny Thomasson (Texas) [Phillips].
