MUNCY. American, March (6/8). USA, southwestern Pa. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Bayard (1981) states the tune was probably named for Muncy, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania. He thought it a fife march (even though his source played it on the fiddle), and a member of the rather large group of tune families outlined in his note for "Lannigan's Ball."
